What a wonderful evening at Rustic Roots Winery!
Thank you to everyone who joined us as we partnered with Lakes Center for Youth & Families to support their Small Cards. Big Connections. campaign.
Because of the generosity of our community, we helped raise $1,220 for the cause, including $750 in online donations and $470 in person. If you'd still like to support Lakes Center and the youth they serve, we've included a link to learn more and contribute.
These $5 gift cards may seem small, but they make a meaningful impact. Lakes Center staff use them to encourage school attendance, celebrate progress, build connections, and recognize students who are taking positive steps forward. Sometimes a simple gesture is all it takes to remind a young person that their effort is seen and valued.
A special thank you to Rachel and the entire Lakes Center team for bringing such great energy to the event and sharing more about their important work with local youth and families. We also appreciate everyone who stopped by the Thrivent booth, entered our giveaway, and took time to learn more about the mission.
Thank you to Rustic Roots Winery for providing such a beautiful setting and thank you to everyone who helped make the evening a success. Community partnerships like these truly make a difference.
