As we reflect on everything accomplished in 2025, we want to pause and say one simple but powerful word: THANK YOU
To our volunteers — you are the heart of this work. From stuffing backpacks, lifting and moving heavy items, showing up early and staying late, delivering supplies across the community, to creating smiles, joy, and unforgettable moments — your dedication is what makes our mission come to life. You are our silent partners, and none of our programs or activations would be possible without you.
Because of your time, energy, and commitment, together we were able to:
- Support nearly 550 students and parents through our Kicks & Cares Back-to-School initiative:
- Free Nike shoes
- Haircuts and braiding services
- Hygiene products and backpacks
- School supplies & backpacks for students in grades 1–12
- iPads and headphones
- Snacks, drinks, and on-site resources for families
- Education and support around mental health and addiction awareness
- We adopted 20 children through the Angel Tree during the holidays, ensuring each child received the items they asked for — and more — so they felt seen, supported, and celebrated
- Delivered Senior Joy Bags to seniors who are ill, isolated, or without nearby family, reminding them they are not forgotten
- Donated 30+ winter care baskets filled with blankets, socks, and winter gear to The Bridge Homeless Recovery Center, offering warmth and comfort during colder months
Every box lifted, every mile driven, every hour volunteered helped meet real needs with dignity and compassion.
We also want to thank our students, parents, coaches, and community members — those who serve and those who benefit.
Thank you for trusting us, welcoming us, and partnering with us to ensure we show up for the community in meaningful ways.
