Throughout high school and when I go home from college, I have worked here since I was 16 years old. 54 Feed and Seed is a Purina feed store, plant nursery, and gift shop in my hometown of Nevada, Missouri.

Volunteering
-
MOPS childcare: I have been doing this for a couple of months now! MOPS is a Bible study group for moms who need a break to spend time with other moms. When they come, they bring their kiddos with them, and volunteers like me spend several hours playing, teaching, and engaging with these kids (ages 3-6)! We usually read Bible stories, play outside, and have snack and craft time.
