Our intrepid bakers have been baking for three organizations that serve the homeless. We began in May 2020, and have baked, packaged and delivered over 12,000 cookies!! However, we need to redouble our efforts. We need cookies for New Haven Inn, Bill Wilson Drop-In Center and Covenant House. Your baking sends a message of love to our homeless friends at a time when we are not allowed to serve them in person.
And that’s a wrap! Pride on the Corner 2022 was the BEST day! We celebrated, made connections, and raised money for seven local LGBTQ+ non-profits. From the food and entertainment to the games and art sale, from the incredible non-profits who shared resources to our amazing volunteers, it was a joyous day and God’s love flowed through it all.
We have begun the countdown to founding a broad-based organization in the Valley that has the power to impact the lives of the people in our communities! Hear about what we learned from the campaign of house meetings that occurred up and down the Valley over the summer and learn about our next steps.
