A Magical Moment from our Holiday Party

Once again our friends at AT&T gave backpacks to a few of our Littles filled with school supplies for the up and coming school year.  We are so grateful to have amazing community partners like AT&T that create fun events where our matches can spend time together and with some amazing local volunteers.  We'd like to give a special shout-out to the Meridian PD officers that played Frisbee with us!  Check out the gallery below to see the festivities! 

We'd like to thank our friends at Icon Credit Union once again for sponsoring our Summer Party this year.  We had so much fun spending time with your volunteers! 

Another special thank you to the Albertsons Foundation for awarding us a grant!  We can't wait to further our mission in the community!
