We are heartbroken to share the passing of our dear friend, Mary Fisher. Mary was one of our friends during the Covid pandemic that we helped get home to her family in Ohio. We have stayed in touch with her over the years. Her family informed us that she passed away this afternoon. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers. She was loved by us all and will be dearly missed. She was the sweetest!

Had an amazing time serving with the incredibly talented kids of WFA's Select Troupe this past weekend. We met alot of new faces and had the chance for the team to sing some beautiful, heartfelt songs to our friends. We served bag lunches, brought out blankets, socks and knitted hats. Always a pleasure serving and sharing about homeless advocacy to this amazing group of kids. There hearts are always filled with love and prayers for our friends.
