A couple weeks ago, we hosted our very first Community Resource Fair & Summer Send-Off at the Parma Splash Pad. ❤️
Today, I finally had the chance to personally reach out to the families who attended just to say thank you for coming and to make sure they felt welcomed, included and loved.
The responses we received were beautiful… but this one really got me. 🥹❤️
One mom shared that her four kiddos were able to get a professional haircut for only about the second time in their lives and how special that experience was for them.
And THAT is why we did this.
It was never just about free haircuts, food, treats, toys or school supplies. It was about creating a day where families felt seen, supported and surrounded by people who care.
To every barber, stylist, volunteer, vendor, sponsor and neighbor who poured their time and love into that day — this message belongs to you too. ❤️ You helped create that moment for those kids.
This is the kind of community partner I want our agency to continue being. Not just somewhere you call when you need insurance, but people you know are here for you, your family and our community.
Parma, thank you for letting us be part of your village. ❤️
This is community. This is why we do it.
