“One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals.” – Jean Vanier

Sending PEACE & JOY to you all this season. Thank you for your support in 2019!

We wanted to share all that your good works & dear hearts made possible in 2019:

👏 We delivered 35 bags to the homeless on Christmas Eve filled with ponchos, emergency blankets, socks, hand warmers, McDonald's cards, handmade cookies, 30 HUGE sandwiches, a box of warm fuzzy shirts & a lot of love.

👏 We were able to send $150,000 JA to St. Mary Primary School in the poorest parish in Jamaica to build 2 more classroom partitions.

Happy holidays! Thank you beyond words for our community work. Cheers to you all & what 2020 will bring🌲💞 !

“It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.” Mother Teresa

SUCCESS! A few pictures that don't do justice to the heartfelt goodness shared for the Community Yard Sale and Crock Pot Cook Off on 11/2/19.

With our neighbor's donation, it is official that we raised enough money to buy sleeping bags, warm clothes & food cards for the homeless and to continue our efforts to build partitions in classrooms at the St. Mary Primary School pending board approval.

Cheers to the VILLAGE (neighbors-including our 83 yr.old neighbor who helped us with signs/plants/tables, coworkers, dear friends & our board member). It is because of the village that we raised enough $ (more than any other sale) to help the homeless & schools in disadvantaged areas. There are not enough words to express how amazing these humans are to give hours & hours to help others. Gillespie Hanson Muesse Cabuag-Slater Robinson &fam /friendstomention
