Other Programming through the years
Through the years, we have been blessed with incredible donors and partners that allow us to be innovative and flexible with our programming.
Passion and purpose is always at the center of our mission- whether you are serving with us or participating in our outreach. In the last decade we have been able to prioritize meeting families where they are at and creatively celebrating the achievements and life circumstances of our staff/volunteers simultaneously. Below are programs that we have been able to proudly offer through the years.
