Giving back is at the heart of our lives!
Thank you continuing to join us!
This Giving Tuesday, we pause with hearts full of gratitude. 💛 As we reflect on the blessings of the year—family, friends, and the communities that support us—we’re reminded that generosity is one of the most meaningful ways to express thankfulness. Whether it’s sharing a meal, donating to a cause, or simply lending a helping hand, every act of kindness creates ripples of hope. Join us in giving from the heart and making a difference in the lives of others.
This year, we’re also hosting a virtual food drive benefiting:Â
The Salvation Army
Catholic Charities
Harvestors
Children's Mercy
and
Great Plains SPCA.
Many of our local food banks are struggling to keep up with demand, and together, we can make a real difference for families in need.
Many community-based organizations are striving to meet the growing needs of the community. Charitable organizations such as food banks often see food shortages, the need for warm clothing and with our economic times being tight for many people, some are unsure where to turn. Â
We have put information on the local organizations below with links!

The red kettles are gone for the season, but the need hasn't disappeared. They have so many wonderful programs to assist! From disaster relief to helping homeless, providing shelter and much more!
