What a wonderful evening! A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support us at the TerraLocoMN $5 5K earlier this week. The energy, the smiles, and the community made it such a special night.

Thanks to your participation, we raised $270; every dollar of which goes directly toward supporting our mission and the families we serve.

We are so grateful for this community. Thank you for showing up and making a difference! 👟

Congratulations to our own Amy Kanz who graduated from the Leadership Greater Rochester (LGR) program last week! 👏
LGR is a 10-month program that immerses leaders in sessions examining everything from economic development and the local arts scene, to workforce development and building a sustainable community. This helps leaders feel empowered to shape and contribute to the greater Rochester area. Great job Amy, we are so proud of you!
