We are delighted to now have a brand new vehicle to transport goods and services to people and families in need in our community. We are forever grateful!

We are still reveling in the joy and love that was shared last month during our annual Joy of Giving Event! We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work in collaboration with our amazing sponsors to produce such an amazing experience and space for our community last year. We appreciate all of the support from everyone who showed up and worked alongside us to make it happen. Please click the link in our bio to view the video from our Joy of Giving Event that is now up on our Youtube channel!
