Local Mpact

Because of the generosity of our donors, another burden was lifted from the shoulders of a grieving family.

We are incredibly thankful to share that a family’s funeral expenses have been paid in full. In the midst of unimaginable loss, our hope is to ease even a small portion of the stress and heartache they are carrying.

Walking alongside families during some of their hardest days is at the heart of what we do. While we cannot take away the pain of losing a baby, we can help relieve financial pressures, and remind families that they are not alone.

To every donor, supporter, sponsor, and person who gives to Local Mpact, thank you! Thank you for helping us make a difference, one family at a time.

There are some moments that just stop you in your tracks. ❤️

The sweetest ELEVEN year old handed over this note at church, and I don’t know if she realizes how much it meant to me.

To be seen through the eyes of a child is such a humbling gift. Sometimes encouragement comes from the most unexpected places. Recently, it came on a little handwritten note from a precious young girl with a big heart.

I’ll be keeping this one forever. 🥺😍

Thank you, Savannah, for your sweet words, and for reminding me that God can use anyone, no matter their age, to encourage someone else.

Last night, we had the privilege of delivering a care bag to a bereaved family in Paragould. While we wish no family ever had to experience the heartbreak of infant loss, we are grateful for the opportunity to offer a small reminder that they are not alone.

These care bags are filled with thoughtful items meant to provide comfort, encouragement, and support during an incredibly difficult time. They are only possible because of the generosity of so many people who donate items, give financially, and help us assemble them with love.

To everyone who plays a part in making these deliveries possible, thank you. Your kindness reaches families when they need it most, and we are so thankful to be able to serve our community in this way. 💜💚

Local Mpact attended the 10th Annual Nonprofit Summit this week, just like we do every year! A room full of leaders eager to grow, learn, and strengthen the work they do in the nonprofit world. Incredible speakers. Meaningful networking. And, so much wisdom shared throughout the day.

We are always thankful for the people willing to pour into other leaders, helping organizations better serve their communities, and continue making an impact.

A special shoutout to our friend Shunqetta for leading the charge on all things nonprofit, and creating spaces where collaboration, encouragement, and learning can thrive. Grateful to be part of a community that believes in supporting one another, while doing important work.

Absolutely incredible. The Butterflies & Bloom Celebration exceeded every hope we had for the evening. The year we moved to a new venue, welcomed 260 guests, and watched this community show up in the biggest way.

The Embassy was incredible to work with, and helped create such a beautiful atmosphere for the night. Every detail, every volunteer, every sponsor, every guest! It all came together so perfectly.

There are truly no words for the gratitude we feel. Seeing so many people rally around families impacted by infant loss is something we will never take for granted. The generosity, the love, the support… overwhelming in the very best way.

Thank you for believing in this mission, and helping us make such a meaningful MPACT.

We’re already dreaming and planning for next year! Save the date for the 2027 Butterflies & Bloom Celebration, Friday, May 14th.

VOLUNTEERS! 🦋💐

The Best Buy volunteers were truly incredible. Kind. Welcoming. Hands-on. Willing to do whatever it took to make the Butterflies & Bloom Celebration successful. They stepped in wherever needed, and did it all with such servant hearts.

One of the most important things about this event is creating a space where guests feel comfortable, seen, and cared for. When an event surrounds infant loss, there can be so many emotions present throughout the night. Every single volunteer handled those moments with compassion and genuine care.

What makes it even more special is that many of them traveled from different areas across the state, just to serve and support this mission. That says so much about their generosity, and willingness to show up for families they have never even met.

We couldn’t be more thankful for each of you. Your presence made a difference, and your kindness did not go unnoticed.

ENTERTAINMENT! Butterflies & Bloom Celebration

Oh. My. Goodness. 🔥🔥🔥

A live band. A DJ. A solo artist. All packed into one event, and they absolutely BROUGHT IT. The first time we have had a live band, and they did NOT disappoint. The music had the crowd on their feet, packed the dance floor, and created a whole vibe from start to finish. It truly felt like a celebration in every sense of the word.

We are beyond thankful to everyone who said “yes” to showing up, sharing your incredible talent, and helping make this night unforgettable for our guests. We are already excited for next year!

SPONSORS! Wow. 🤯🦋💐

The Butterflies & Bloom Celebration may be over, but we are still raving about it. All week long we’ll be recapping the highlights, favorite moments, and the incredible memories made throughout the night. It truly exceeded anything we could have imagined.

Please celebrate with us as we wrap up the event by giving thanks, and sharing just how special and fun the evening was. We’re starting our series of posts with our sponsors, because this event simply would not be possible without their generous contributions.

The kindness and support in our community is unmatched. Please help us thank the •FIFTY ONE• sponsors, who made financial contributions, to our biggest event of the year. Because of their support, we were able to move into a larger venue that allowed us to bring more awareness to infant loss, support grieving families, and continue our mission in an even bigger way.

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for helping make this night unforgettable.
