A huge thank you to our volunteers from Visitation High School! 💙

These students supported our Whiz Kids programs and Sunday night bingo throughout the year, and four seniors spent the last eight days helping with projects around our building. From picking up donations and organizing storage to updating bulletin boards and providing childcare, they jumped in wherever help was needed.

We are so grateful for their hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to serving others. Thank you to all of the Visitation students who volunteered with us this year! 👏✨

A huge THANK YOU to Girl Scout Troop 56766 for transforming one of our client rooms into a warm, welcoming space for a new family 💛

The troop painted the walls, updated the shelving, and built beautiful new bedside tables and a storage bench — creating both comfort and much-needed organization.

For many of our families, making the most of a small space can be challenging. These thoughtful improvements will make everyday life easier for the family who just moved in this week.

We are so grateful for your hard work, generosity, and heart for service. Thank you for making a difference!

Exciting progress is underway! New windows and siding are being installed over the next several weeks as part of our ongoing capital improvements.

Stay tuned for the final reveal!

Thank you Project Miracle!
