Year 2 Recap: 2023!
Take a break from the Christmas chaos by joining us for our second-year reflection!
Before diving into memory lane, we want to thank every friend, neighbor, & community member who has supported us! It truly takes a village; we certainly could not have orchestrated the efforts below without you. So, what did we accomplish in 2023?
We’re glad you asked! Year 2 kept us busy with many firsts.
