Small hands. Big hearts. Lasting impact.

A heartfelt thank you to Kay Graybill, Amanda, and their incredible mini helpers for spending the day serving at Tenfold! Despite the warm, muggy weather, they rolled up their sleeves and took on the important task of refreshing our Donation Center and creating a welcoming space for our Welcome Kits.

Their hard work included assembling additional Welcome Kits, organizing essential household items, and thoughtfully arranging supplies so our staff can quickly provide everything needed when individuals and families move into stable housing through our Supportive Housing programs.

Every organized shelf, every packed kit, and every helping hand brings us one step closer to helping someone turn a house into a home. It's volunteers like these who remind us that compassion, teamwork, and community can change lives.

Thank you, Kay, Amanda, and your amazing young volunteers, for investing your time, energy, and hearts into our mission.

A Little Summer Fun Goes a Long Way!

This past Thursday, Tenfold employees took a well-deserved break from the everyday hustle to enjoy our Summer Fun Lunch—complete with hot dogs, ice cream, plenty of laughter, and even more good conversation!

Our Tenfold Beach Team came together to relax, connect, and simply enjoy being together. From sweet treats to shared stories, it was a wonderful reminder that while we work hard every day to support our community, taking time to pause, recharge, and celebrate one another matters, too.

Because strong teams aren’t built only through the work we do—they’re built through connection, camaraderie, and the moments we share along the way.

Here’s to the Tenfold team and the people who make our workplace a special place to be!

Thank You for Helping Our Community Stay Safe During the Summer Heat!

When temperatures soared, our community stepped up in a big way. On Saturday, July 4, Tenfold's Cooling Center welcomed 46 community members seeking relief from the extreme heat. Thanks to the dedication of 22 incredible volunteers, we were able to provide a safe, air-conditioned space, cold water, snacks, and a warm welcome to neighbors who needed it most.

From setting up the Cooling Center and distributing neighborhood notices to serving guests throughout the day, our volunteers demonstrated what it truly means to care for one another.
To everyone who volunteered, donated, and supported this effort—thank you. Your compassion helped create a safe refuge during dangerous temperatures and reminded our neighbors that they are not alone.

Together, we're building a stronger, healthier, and more caring community—one act of kindness at a time. Learn more about Tenfold and our community impact at www.WeAreTenfold.org.
