There is a spirit of giving and gratitude that shines brightly within the Decatur community. A spirit that reminds us every day that gratitude is not just something we feel, but something we do. In a time when the need for connection and compassion is greater than ever, we wanted to highlight some of the inspiring stories of Decatur’s difference makers. From community members extending support to those in need, these stories go beyond gestures and show us how the power and promise of stepping up can have a meaningful impact. On the following pages are snapshots of five local organizations and people who are doing the good work.
