As we honor, remember, and give thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we also celebrate the freedoms that they fought to protect for the nation we call home. ❤️🤍💙

Sometimes the smallest gestures say the biggest things 💐

Today’s a good reminder that flowers don’t need a reason — just a person who could use a little extra joy, encouragement, or “thinking of you.”

Bring someone flowers today… even if that someone is yourself 🌷

One of the most common questions on an auto insurance application is:
“How many miles do you drive per year?”

And no — it’s not just random paperwork 😅
Your annual mileage can actually impact your premium with many carriers.

If your commute, work schedule, or driving habits have changed recently, it may be worth reviewing your policy to make sure everything is still accurate (and that you’re getting every discount available 👀)

Not everything is protected by the Force…
but your home, auto, and everything in between should be.

May the 4th be with you ✨

Today is Global Pay It Forward Day 💛

A simple reminder that the smallest gestures can make the biggest impact. Whether it’s covering someone’s coffee, checking in on a friend, or just offering a little extra patience—kindness has a ripple effect.

Let’s make it a point to do one thing for someone else today… no strings attached. You never know how far it might go.

What’s one way you’ll pay it forward today?

Had such a great time at the Hero 5K & Walk for Autism this weekend 💙

We couldn’t have asked for more beautiful weather, and it was incredible seeing so many runners and walkers come out to support such an important cause.

Grateful to have been part of this event as a sponsor—huge thank you to the Autism Society of the Greater Hudson Region for putting together such a meaningful, welcoming, and well-organized day. And to the entire community that showed up and made it so special… you’re what makes events like this truly impactful.

Already looking forward to next year!

Our pet food pantry is empty.

Right now, we have no cat food and only one remaining bag of dog food, and it will likely be gone today. Through our Furry Friends Pet Food Pantry, we help keep animals with the families who love them. When the shelves are empty, that support isn’t there when it’s needed most.

Our biggest need: unopened bags of dry dog and cat food. 🐱🐶

If you’re able to help, you can:
🐾 Order from our Amazon or Chewy wishlists to have it shipped right to us (linked below)
🐾 Drop off donations in the blue bins out front
🐾 Bring items to our front desk (M–F 12–6 PM, Sat 10 AM–4 PM)

Every donation helps keep an animal in their home, where they belong. 💙
