Together we can
Giving back through assistance and community outreach.
Our Story
Our story is one that I think still blows our minds some days. We started in early 2020 as a Facebook group for women to cultivate new friendships, uplift one another, and to promote random acts of kindness. Our servant hearts took over, and our dreams to implement community outreach took root. Ourselves, along with almost 700 wonderful women behind us, started reaching further and doing things for our community. We were able to raise money for several community nonprofit organizations, provide school supplies to all Barrow County School, host a community wide trunk or treat, deliver care packages to all of our local fire departments and several healthcare facilities, a food drive, and collect donations and make over 300 Easter baskets for the children in DEFACS care and in the care of other local organizations. During these adventures, we realized that this is what we were put here to do. Becoming a nonprofit seemed to be the only step that made sense, so here we are! Our office is located at the wonderful Wimberly Center for Community Development in Winder Ga.
