❤️ 544 Reasons to Be Grateful... and One Week Left to Help!?!
One of the things we've learned over the years is that whenever we invite this community to do something good, you're quick to respond... and this time you've completely overwhelmed us with your generosity.
Since our last update, donations have been pouring in, and we're excited to share that we've now collected 544 food items through our Better Together: Food Drive benefiting Christian Appalachian Project (CAP). What started as a few cans on an empty table has quickly become a challenge of finding enough room for everything—and figuring out how to fit it all into a photo for our social media friends. 😄📸
We're collecting shelf-stable, unexpired food items through September 22 for Christian Appalachian Project (CAP), and for every item donated, Thrivent and IWA together will donate $1 to CAP.
There's now just one week left to participate before collections close.
✅ Bring a few items to your next meeting
✅ Stop by the office to say hello, enjoy a drink, chocolate, and good company
✅ Bring a few items to an upcoming IWA event
Thank you to everyone who has participated so far. Your kindness, generosity, and willingness to care for others are what make this community so special.
Let's fill the shelves and help care for our Appalachian neighbors ❤️
