What a weekend blast with AAYHF & Tupperware!

Tupperware can be a surprisingly exciting family learning experience on home organization! It’s a chance to bond, declutter, and create a more efficient home environment together. AAYHF & Tupperware held a Tupperware party this past Saturday at the African American Youth Harvest Foundatio n that was a fun-filled learning experience for the entire family. This was a free event!
