Happy Thanksgiving!

This Thanksgivng morning, I want to take one moment to thank you for donating, volunteering, and engaging with St. Ann's Center for Children, Youth and Families this year. You give our community so many reasons to be thankful!
 
24 women and their children currently live at St. Ann's Center as they heal, stabilize, and grow towards their goals of independence and stability.
 
Your help empowers our families each step of the way.
 
Our community includes some new and first-time mothers, with several children under the age of 1 who will celebrate Thanksgiving with our staff tomorrow. Two of these children were born at St. Ann's Center in 2024.
 
What a blessing, and what a privilege for St. Ann's Center to play a small part in these exciting journeys. Thank you for helping nurture and support these new families, and for equipping St. Ann's Center for our important mission of accompaniment and support.
 
Please know that I am keeping you and all of St. Ann's Center's supporters in my prayers this week. Please keep our community in your prayers as well.
 
Faith is a part of so many of the journeys happening at St. Ann's Center, and your prayers make a difference!
 
Thank you and God bless you.
