Time flies! We are astounded to be celebrating our 10th anniversary! To think it started when Sherry and Kathy met and discovered they both wanted to do good things in our community – not knowing what that would be. Now joined with Etienne Djevi and Jeena Gurung Vomhof, we have held true to that idea.
Our favorite fun fact – since we began in October 2015, we have done at least ONE THING EVERY MONTH (except April and May of 2020!) since that time. Our mission remains open to doing anything that makes our community stronger.

Red Bin Collection(s)
If you’ve never heard of our Red Bin Collections, you’re missing out! We have hosted a number of Red Bin Collections, which are comprised of putting a red bin at the end of Kathy’s driveway and….asking people to drop of their donations in the bin! It all started during Cov-id, with (of all things) bras – and there were a lot for them – 700 to be exact! To see more, click here.
