Community Outreach​
Retro took the initiative to create, fundraise, organize, and implement several successful community service projects to assemble essential hygiene products and personal toiletries for those in need.
Retro's "BlessUp Bags" provided an excellent opportunity for the less fortunate to acquire the daily necessities needed to achieve a healthier lifestyle by receiving a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, washcloth, deodorant, lotion, shampoo and conditioner, shaving cream, a shaving razor, lip moisturizer, and hand sanitizer.
