🎉 Celebrating 2 Years with Darren! 🎉

Today we’re celebrating Darren’s two-year anniversary with the Missouri Empowerment Project! 💛

Darren has a gift for connecting with everyone he meets — from clients to coworkers — bringing laughter, positivity, and energy to every room he walks into. Whether he’s cracking a joke, lending a helping hand, or keeping the team smiling through busy days, Darren knows how to slay every day while staying true to MEP’s mission of hope and healing.

🎃 Spooktacular Staff Spotlight! 👻

No tricks here — just a team full of treats! 🍬
This Halloween season, we’re shining our lantern light on our Intensive Family Services (IFS) Team — the real heroes who brave the tough stuff every single day to keep families together and thriving.

🕸️ From late-night phone calls to early-morning home visits, they face the “monsters” of crisis with courage, compassion, and creativity.
🕷️ Their magic? Turning fear into hope, chaos into calm, and obstacles into opportunity.

We’re creeping it real this spooky season by saying THANK YOU to our IFS crew for their heart, humor, and unwavering dedication to empowering families across Southwest Missouri. 💛

🦇 Here’s to the team that proves every day:
You don’t need a cape to be a hero — just a heart for change.
