"I enjoyed meeting new friends and making great connections. I’m grateful to be able to reach out and network with others from state to state. I would’ve never been able to have these connections without this blessing gathering."

Learning about what other programs are doing, and how they are best serving the communities they serve was immensely helpful. The networking opportunities were fantastic, and just having the ability to listen, learn, and be inspired by others was great.

Incredible! Just being in the company of others doing this work was so encouraging and empowering. It was an incredible experience for our shelter managers to get to learn and be experts in the room in moments. It has helped me remember my dreams for our organization and its impact that have been slowly and steadily worn away as I've navigated the daily struggles of funding and operating our organization.

At first I questioned whether to bring my team of 4 directors, but each made valuable connections in their specific area of work. In fact some agencies have already asked if they can come out to visit us in our city.

Thank you! It was an invaluable experience for our team and organization. We all left with actionable goals as well as feeling encouraged from our experiences.

A wonderful opportunity to learn and grow and connect with others doing similar work, facing the same challenges.
