Show Notes:
*Read this in your best Beyonce voice in your mind* Who’s changing the world? THE MAMA ARMY! Ok, so maybe the song is a stretch, but today’s guests are truly changing the world starting with the community that needs them in their own backyard! We’re joined by Dawn Van Camp and Desiree Briggs. Two moms answered the calling to serve others and ended up creating a non-profit called The Mama Army! In this episode, we talk about the impact that can be made when a group of people donates their time, money, and talents to serve others in need. Dawn and Des share some of their experiences, how they “accidentally” started a whole non-profit organization and how they are leading their families and communities from the front!
