This month, we hosted a special self-care night for the parents and caregivers in our Thrive program. Five moms gathered for a sourdough starter class, a homemade dinner, and the chance to connect with one another. Our staff planned every detail with love, ensuring each caregiver felt seen, valued, and cherished.
Each participant went home with a sourdough starter and instructions to continue the process at home. As we reflected together, we shared the beautiful analogy that—just like the starter—small amounts of love, kindness, and care can grow into something nourishing and lasting.
One mom later shared:
“Your event could not have had better timing and just brings me to tears to be seen and to feel God’s love during one of the hardest weeks of my life. It was such love and comfort to be among others who work to care for hurt people we so deeply love and want to see get well. Thanks again for seeing and supporting the unseen and for your showering of love in the bread class, meal, and gifts. I needed it more than I even knew. My heart overflows.”
