We All Carry a Piece of the Foundation

Imagine rebuilding a home after a storm-not with bricks and mortar alone, but with hope, compassion, and a community of helping hands.
Now imagine that home multiplied across neighborhoods, schools, food pantries, crisis shelters, and senior centers. That's what happens when we come together-when we all carry a piece of the foundation. We begin to turn generational cycles of crisis into generational success built on stability, healing, and opportunity.

That's what Volunteer Week is all about.

Whether you're rolling up your sleeves with your coworkers, showing up with your pottery class, bringing your book club or your pickleball crew-this is your chance to serve together, grow together, and have fun while doing good.
The needs are real. But so is the joy that comes when we show up for our neighbors as one united community.

This week, we're spotlighting six more organizations doing the daily work of lifting others up. They're helping people rise above poverty, heal from trauma, stay in their homes, and grow toward a stronger future. Join us in supporting them during Volunteer Week 2025.

Vital Connections of the Midlands

Vital Connections provides early care and education for at-risk families facing poverty, substance use, and potential child abuse or neglect. Their programs focus on pregnant moms and children ages six weeks to two and a half years, offering affordable, high-quality education and strong parental engagement.

This is more than childcare-it's a vital lifeline to stability for families facing difficult odds.
