As we join the country in observing the 𝟑𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤 and 𝐊𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐚 𝐏𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐲, DMMMSU pauses to celebrate the foundation of our community: the family.

While our days are spent learning, teaching, and serving, we know that our strength comes from the support we receive at home. Sitting down together for a simple meal gives us time to talk, listen, and care for one another.

Take a pause, share a meal with your family, and cherish your time together.
