We are so excited to partner with our friends over at Lakeview Counseling & Consulting on this teen-inspired project of giving! Feel free to drop off in Suite 103 and spread the news!

When a young teen approached us with a sweet idea to help kids & families make cookies who might not get to this year, how could we resist?

Lakeview and Nurturing Village are partnering together to collect cookie mixes, small bottles of oil, frosting, and sprinkles for families facing food insecurity. Our team will assemble the kits, all you need to do is drop off supplies!

We are accepting donations now through December 5th! Help us spread sweetness and kindness this holiday season!
