Bright For Will

A friend of mine shared this with me on this date a few years ago. Such a powerful reminder, today and every day. ❤️

In honor of what would be Will's 10th birthday, we wanted to take an opportunity to share that thanks to your faithful generosity, we were able to make a donation to the Methodist Home for Children to support their 1K for 1KID campaign. We truly appreciate your continued support! 🌈❤️

Love this! ❤️

Even as we post this, deliveries are going out –
This is part of a bigger story, one of immense generosity. 21 years ago, a friend named Susan couldn't bear the thought of a child getting up and not having an Easter basket. She took the idea to her Sunday school class and that was that. 21 years later, the Walk in Faith class of Wrightsville United Methodist Church are still creating baskets for our children. Thank you, friends - for your love and inclusion and faithfulness and chocolate. You'll never know the far-reaching effects of this simple act.

21,564 biscuits, 4,408 cinnamon rolls, 104k times paying it forward..

We are so grateful for you as we enter this Thanksgiving week. Thank you Table Family for eating biscuits, drinking countless cups of coffee, and being a part of this incredible community.

We love you!

Will's birthday is a great opportunity to share that as a result of your generosity, we have made donations to A Place at the Table Raleigh and Riverside Ranch.

Will's birthday seems like an excellent time to share that as a result of your generosity, we have made a donation to A Place at the Table Raleigh. This organization provides meals on a "pay as you're able" basis, which is a critical need for many during these difficult times.

In this season of giving, we wanted to share that as a result of your generosity this year, we were able to make lives a little brighter with donations to Clayton Area Ministries and the House of Hope of NC for troubled teens. We truly appreciate your support and wish you a Merry Christmas!

As many of you know, today marks the 4th anniversary of the day we lost Will on July 9, 2015. This day has become known as "Bright for Will" day where we encourage our family and friends to practice random acts of kindness in his memory. Thanks to those of you who have reached out with words of encouragement as well as those who have shared things that you've done to make someone's life a little brighter.🌈❤️
