Yesterday our clients had the joy of celebrating a gender reveal for our Dignity in Pay Grant Coordinator, MaKenzi, and the love in the room was truly unforgettable.
These are the moments that go beyond programs and services — moments of connection, inclusion, and shared happiness. We are so grateful to be able to experience life’s milestones together and create memories that will stay with us long after today. 💕
