🤩 This is a beautiful picture of what community looks like. 🫶
Thursday, May 28th, 2026 we had the honor of collaborating with Lafayette Parish School System Federal Programs providing essential resources to children and families in need. They got to participate in a “Game of Life” event allowing them to imagine what life decisions they will be presented with and how to navigate them.
It was a transformative way to spend the day while reminding them not to give up but to !
Huge Thanks to John Weatherall, KLFY Gerald Gruenig, and others for your inspiring presence and encouragement to these young people. You guys embody the best of Acadiana.
