What does "21 Can Get it Done” mean?

It is our invitation to be a monthly donor. Your ongoing gift of $21 can provide a family with a coaching session each month. Coaching is what sets our organization a part as we guide our families from crisis to thriving. #21CanGetitDone

The Christmas shop is ready to open! Thank you to Medxcel who used their day to help us set up. We asked them why they volunteer:
"It’s the fabric of who we as a company. Anytime we can serve our Lord and Savior by helping others during their time of need is a true blessing."

All smiles this afternoon as Thanksgiving Boxes were passed out to our Families! As each family works towards sustainability, the expenses holidays bring can disrupt progress. We want all of our families to keep moving forward and to have a wonderful Thanksgiving. #21CanGetItDone
