Thank you, St. Joseph Community Health Foundation, for your continued partnership and support of LSSI's ECHO teen parenting program with a recent $5,000 Grant Award!

Your investment helps pregnant and parenting teens stay in school, develop strong parenting skills, and create healthier futures for their families. This past school year, 100% of eligible ECHO participants earned their high school diploma and 99% increased their parenting knowledge and skills.

Together, we're helping young families break cycles of poverty and build lasting stability.

A little wind and rain won’t stop the fun at Party at the Park tonight! As the hymn reminds us, even the wind, rain, flowers and trees can “sing to the Lord a new song.” We have much to celebrate because He has done marvelous things!

And the match is officially ON! The LSSI Board of Directors will match the first $21,250 given by Party at the Park guests, doubling the impact for individuals and families working toward greater stability.

Attending or celebrating from home, you can accept the challenge and give now: www.lssin.org/give

Rain or shine, we’re ready for a wonderful night for a wonderful mission!
