Today the Morgantown team went to visit the amazing crew at Scott's Run Settlement House to tour their new facility and see how our organizations can work together to help folks with food insecurity. It was a wonderful visit and left us feeling energized. As if that wasn't good enough, when we pulled back in to our office we saw our neighbors WV Jewelry & Loan were hosting a Free Community Picnic! We are so lucky to have full souls and full bellies! Have an amazing weekend everyone!

A big thanks to Next Stage for hosting a workshop on pursuing a common purpose before we all joined in on a Sleep in Heavenly Peace bed build, which completed 1,000 beds for children in need around Charlotte!
