A huge shout-out to Angie with Meals on a Mission, who connected us with Gotta Be Shoes! 🙌
It was a truly joyful and grateful experience—every child was so excited about their new shoes. We’re incredibly thankful for these growing community partnerships and the love poured into our kids. 💛👟

Happy GivingTuesday, family!
Today we stand in faith, believing God for an end-of-year goal of $170,000, and praying for 10 new monthly partners who will come alongside the work He has called us to do.

The Word says in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to bless you abundantly… so that you will abound in every good work.” We are holding onto that promise as we pour God’s love, truth, and hope into the next generation through our Kids Programming and Reading Programs.

Every dollar given today will go directly toward impacting the lives of children and families.

If the Lord places it on your heart to sow today, you can give here:

We love you, and we thank God for your partnership, your generosity, and your prayers. ❤️🙏
