On Purpose Trauma Informed Care - OPTIC

🧡 Volunteers Needed… and WOW, did you show up!

We’re still buzzing from Monday night’s Pajamas, Pizza & Prep event!

Thanks to every single person who came out to help us build OPTIC Resource Bags for the Su***de Prevention Walk—your energy, compassion, and teamwork were unreal. 🫶

You showed up in your jammies, your work clothes, and your full-hearted selves, and we actually ran out of supplies in the first 30 minutes!! That’s how powerful community care can be.

From the bottom of our hearts: thank you for turning a simple prep night into a movement of hope and connection. 💙
