Finding Hope and Resilience This Holiday Season
The holidays can be a challenging time for many, but they also offer an opportunity for connection, reflection, and hope. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce the Holiday Hope Speaker Series, a new initiative designed to inspire and uplift through the power of storytelling and shared experiences.
Our first two sessions will take place on December 22nd and December 29th, 2024, from 9:45 AM to 12:00 PM via Zoom. These events are free and open to anyone seeking stories of hope and resilience during the holiday season.
