A heartfelt thank you to the incredible women from Women Lead Change who spent time with us at Willis Dady Works! 💙 We’re grateful for your willingness to learn more about our mission, tour our facility, hear from our team, and roll up your sleeves to make snack packs for our clients experiencing homelessness.

To top off an already amazing day, we also had help from Coe College's Alpha Sigma Alpha - Theta Alpha sorority to finish making snack packs that afternoon! Every snack pack is a small reminder that our community cares. Thank you for making a difference!
