Jamie, Leela, and Lana had a great time sharing about STM with our community at the Takoma Park Farmers Market on Sunday, July 1, 2018. Thanks to all of you who generously donated to support our efforts to empower children to help other children in need! Hope you enjoyed the lemonade! It was a scorcher!
STM served up Hawaiian shave ice to our friends at The Children’s Inn at NIH for their INNcredible Spy Summer Camp Kickoff Party on June 18, 2018.

We had a wonderful time seeing our friends again and were happy to be a part of this special event!

Small Things Matter and Difference Makers supported Glen Haven ES Running Club fundraiser on June 15, 2018 by engaging others in community service projects.

Lana and Leela of Small Things Matter had an amazing time at the Sandy Spring Museum‘s Strawberry Festival on June 2, 2017. They helped the kids create kindness rocks to be abandoned and discovered by others as a Random Act of Kindness.
