❤️ For over 20 years, our Annual Community Block Party has been about one thing at its core: loving our neighbors through service. ❤️

Every free meal shared, every backpack given away, every resource connected, every smile exchanged—it all comes from a simple belief that community matters and people deserve to be seen, supported, and loved.

This year, we are excited to share another meaningful way we’re pouring into our community…

🚍 Our friends from Workforce Services will have their MOBILE UNIT right on the street during the Block Party!

That means job seekers will have the opportunity to:
✨ Explore employment opportunities
✨ Search and apply for jobs onsite
✨ Connect with workforce support and resources
✨ Take steps toward new opportunities and stability

Because loving our neighbors isn’t just about meeting immediate needs—it’s also about helping create pathways to hope, growth, and opportunity.

And that’s exactly what this event has always been about. ❤️

🎉 EVERYTHING is FREE.
🎉 EVERYONE is welcome.
🎉 And together, we continue building a stronger community—one act of love at a time.

📅 Saturday, July 18, 2026
⏰ 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM

PTSD doesn’t always look the way people expect.

Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s invisible. Sometimes it shows up years later.

We see it every day. And we are committed to making sure no veteran has to navigate it alone.

Our annual PTSD awareness shirts are live. Not just something to wear, but a way to start conversations and remind people that this is real. And it matters.

See you there!!!

Bien dicho! 💚

Well said! 💚

Un especialista en salud mental no es solo para “momentos extremos” ni alguien que viene a juzgar o señalar errores; es, ante todo, un aliado humano y profesional que te acompaña cuando la carga emocional pesa demasiado o cuando simplemente necesitas claridad. En momentos de crisis, y también en etapas de confusión o cansancio emocional, contar con un consejero puede marcar una gran diferencia: te ofrece un espacio seguro para hablar sin miedo, ordena tus pensamientos y te ayuda a descubrir recursos internos que quizá no sabías que tenías.
Buscar apoyo no significa estar roto, significa querer estar mejor. A veces, una conversación guiada, respetuosa y empática es el primer paso para recuperar el equilibrio, tomar decisiones con mayor serenidad y volver a creer en tu capacidad de salir adelante.
No estas solo, Podemos ayudarte ! 💛

A mental health specialist is not only for “extreme moments” nor someone who comes to judge or point out mistakes; they are, above all, a human and professional ally who accompanies you when the emotional burden becomes too heavy or when you simply need clarity. In moments of crisis, and also in periods of confusion or emotional fatigue, having a counselor can make a big difference: they provide you with a safe space to talk without fear, organize your thoughts, and help you discover internal resources you might not have known you had. Seeking support does not mean being broken, it means wanting to be better. Sometimes, a guided, respectful, and empathetic conversation is the first step to regaining balance, making decisions with greater serenity, and believing again in your ability to move forward.
You are not alone. We can help you! 💛
