Our food rescue partnership with Target this past month has been such a blessing for our clients.😊
Through this partnership, we’ve been able to provide additional food resources to those we serve and help ensure that good food reaches those who can benefit from it.
Our food rescue distribution takes place weekly, with limited time slots available. We look forward to continuing this meaningful service.
Thank you, Target, for being part of this!❀️

Such a great opportunity for Courage to Call to be featured on K**I News! πŸ’™

We had the chance to talk about military deployment, the stress that can come with it, and how these changes can affect not only the service member, but the entire family.

We are grateful for opportunities like this that allow us to bring more awareness to the support available for our military community.

Thank you to K**I News for having Courage to Call and helping us share this important conversation.
