Thank you to the Owens Corning Women's Inclusion Network for preparing and donating 288 hygiene kits. Each kit contains a washcloth, a toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, and shaving cream. When a family is unhoused, they're often unable to access common hygiene items we can take for granted. Donations like these help us restore a sense of dignity through basic selfcare.

We had a wonderful time this past Saturday celebrating our 40th anniversary at the Grange Insurance Audubon Center. Joined by longtime supporters, community partners, and past and current staff, we shared memories, laughter, and gratitude as we reflected on the past and looked forward to our future.

Thank you to our leading sponsor, Nationwide, for making this special evening possible, along with supporting sponsors NJM Insurance Group, Medical Mutual, and the Fine Family Fund.

We'd also like to share an extra special thank you to City of Columbus - City Hall Council Member Melissa Green for serving as an incredible keynote speaker.

We're also grateful to those who volunteered their time before and during the event to help make the evening run smoothly.

Finally, thank you to our hard-working staff, who work diligently each day to carry out our mission.
