A heartfelt THANK YOU to our amazing community partners 💙

We are so grateful to the students at Good Shepherd School for their generosity and kindness:

🧦 The 3rd and 4th grade classes collected an incredible 930 pairs of socks through their winter sock drive. What an amazing contribution to our Food Shelf!

💵 The 5th and 6th grade classes made a meaningful financial donation, helping us continue to support those in need.

🥫 And to St. John’s Parish, thank you for your ongoing weekly food donations. Your consistent support makes a lasting difference.

Because of all of you, our neighbors are feeling the warmth, care, and compassion of this community. We couldn’t do this work without you!

🗣️🗣️ Organizations physically impacted by the July ‘23 floods: this is a grant opening that you NEED to know about! ➡️➡️

The Department of Economic Development has created the Business Emergency Gap Assistance Program (BEGAP). This $20 million grant program is for businesses and nonprofits that suffered physical damages from flooding dating back to July 7, 2023. Applicants must intend on restoring, reopening, and bringing their employees back to work as soon as possible and will utilize these grant funds for that purpose.

Incomplete applications will be returned to applicants for revision and will take more time to process. Applications will be approved on a rolling basis until all funds are expended. The application portal is expected to open on Thursday, August 3.
