Celebrating the Success of the 2025 Kids' Marketplace!

On May 31st, our community came together for an unforgettable day of creativity, generosity, and youth empowerment at the 2025 Kids' Marketplace — and what a day it was!

Thanks to the collective effort and heart of everyone involved and over 500 people in attendance, we are thrilled to share that we raised over $21,000 in support of youth currently residing at Red Door Family Shelter and other children relevant causes.
