We are grateful you took the time on your Saturday to celebrate the End of Summer with us. This event would not have been possible without First United Methodist Church of Leavenworth (School Supplies), Eric Smith, and the community service organizations and volunteers who attended. Music was provided by Dr. Lamont Lane. Children received school supplies, met firefighters, and enjoyed the bounce house and obstacle course. Eric Smith provided two financial literacy workshops, and the food from Two Guys and A Grill was amazing. Thank you, Leavenworth!

If we didn't tag you, we apologize, and we appreciate everyone who came!
Birth Right, Healthy Blue, Sparrow Women's Clinic & Sparrow Nest, VTC, Friends and Family Support Network/988, Sunflower Health Plan, Big Brothers Big Sisters, First City Football Club and Voc Rehab.
