What Happens When You Show Up: A Thank You from Our Open House
We’re still feeling the warmth and gratitude from our Open House on April 3—and it’s all because of you.
To everyone who walked through our doors, greeted our team, asked thoughtful questions, and listened with open hearts: thank you. This event was more than just a tour—it was a celebration of the impact you make possible every day.
We often say that our work wouldn’t be possible without our donors, volunteers, and supporters. But on nights like this, it’s not just a phrase—it’s visible in every story, every handshake, every moment shared.
One moment we’re still thinking about came when Kristen stood in front of a packed parking lot and bravely shared her journey. From growing up in a home shaped by addiction to becoming a mom who is now parenting with confidence and purpose—Kristen’s story reminded us exactly why we do what we do. And why your support matters.
She spoke about losing custody of her son and finding herself in jail, then slowly building a new life through support, faith, and Parenting Matters. She shared how one of our Parenting Educators didn’t just teach her parenting strategies—she sat beside her, week after week, offering encouragement, practical tools, and real friendship.
“She gave me actual tools that could help me,” Kristen said. “And she’s still someone I can call today.”
That kind of connection doesn’t just change parenting—it changes lives.
If you were there, we hope you felt how important your role is in this work. And if you missed it, we hope you’ll visit soon. We’d love to show you around and introduce you to the heart of what you’re helping build: stronger families, one relationship at a time.
Here’s to continuing this work—together.
