We are so thankful to the local Thrivent – Lamplight Team and the INDY Foundation (in partnership with the Randy Shaver Cancer Research & Community Fund) for their support.

Attached is a photo from the heartfelt presentation of 50 backpacks that were lovingly packed during a Thrivent member community event. Each one is filled with comfort items and includes a handwritten note of encouragement—ready to be shared with patients at the Lake Region Healthcare Cancer Center

These thoughtful gifts are more than just backpacks—they’re reminders that our community is standing beside each patient on their journey. Thank you for spreading kindness, compassion, and hope.
