✨ Community is at the heart of everything we do! ✨
Last month, we had the incredible privilege of hosting some of our amazing community partners to talk about the vital work their organizations do.
While we spend most of our time side-by-side with these incredible folks delivering hands-on services to those in need, it was nice to step back, learn about their personal journeys, and hear the “why” behind how they do what they do.
A huge thank you to our phenomenal guests for stopping by and inspiring us:
💜 Ashli Fragomeni – CEO of Girls Inc. of the Capital Region
👶 Kyla Schmidt – Founder and CEO of Mom Starts Here
🍏 Natasha Pernicka – Executive Director of The Food Pantries of the Greater Capital Region
🏡 Kimmy Venter – CEO of Ronald McDonald House of the Capital Region
👟 Sarah Smith Syden – Executive Director of Girls on the Run Capital Region
🛏️ Mike Cavanaugh – Volunteer Coordinator for Sleep in Heavenly Peace (NY-Mechanicville Chapter)
Thank you all for your leadership, dedication, and ongoing partnership. Together, we are so much stronger! 🤝❤️
