We are incredibly grateful to the team at Vida Taco Bar Severna Park for generously supporting CREATE Connection last month!

They graciously invited two of our board members to guest bartend and donated a percentage of sales for the entire week to help further our mission. Their partnership, generosity, and community spirit made a real impact, and we couldn’t be more thankful. Because of supporters like Vida Taco Bar, we are able to continue doing meaningful work in our community.

Please join us in showing them some love and support the next time you’re out. They truly give back in the best way. 💛
