In the early days of COVID, we faced an lol to empty program and anxious hearts as countless kids couldn’t join us due to safety fears and closures. The lull in attendance was more than a disruption—it was a reminder of the friends and futures we hadn’t yet reached. Yet from that silence, we found a rhythm: we pivoted to servant leadership, launched our first annual toy drive with a handful of generous sponsors, and reimagined our support to meet families where they were.

Together, we adapted with purpose, delivering joy and essential care to more than 300 families in our community. This achievement isn’t just about toys; it’s about resilience, trust, and a promise kept to every child whose spark we refused to let fade.
