On Tuesday, April 22nd—The sun was shining, the cake was incredible, and the energy was electric—our 4th annual Spring Has Sprung celebration was an evening we’ll never forget! Thank YOU!
We were moved by the inspiring words of our guest speakers, surrounded by generous and joyful guests, and amazed to see every auction item find a home. But above all, we were reminded of this: we truly couldn’t do any of this without you—our volunteers.
From building homes to preparing meals, planning events to serving on committees, your time, talents, and hearts are the foundation of everything we do. You show up rain or shine. You lift heavy boards and heavy spirits. You greet guests, share stories, paint walls, plant flowers, sort donations, and guide families toward safe and stable housing.
And during National Volunteer Month—and every month, we just want to say: THANK YOU! Your time is precious—and we are so grateful when you choose to spend it with us!
