As March arrives and the days grow longer, we welcome the first signs of spring—a time of renewal, hope, and continued dedication to our community. Though winter still lingers, our collective spirit remains unwavering, proving once again that kindness and action know no season.
In February, we saw our youth step up in incredible ways. At the beginning of the month, 15 young adults served at the Older Adult Fundraiser, helping to serve over 100 people as we danced and celebrated together. During their winter break, our teens gathered with a passion that warmed even the chilliest of days, serving warm soup and sweet smiles to those in need. On Wednesdays, a team of dedicated young adult interns helped with administrative work and program operations.
When we come together, we are unstoppable. The teens, older adults, and every one in between all contribute in unique ways to create a ripple of kindness that reaches far beyond our neighborhoods.
Let’s continue uplifting one another as we step into a new season. Together, we are making a difference.
