💙 Thankful Thursday! 💙

This week we're feeling very Thankful for the Victoria Lions Club.
The Lions for joined us once again for our Back2School Pickup! The Lions spent the day with us meeting parents, handing out school supplies, and bringing plenty of smiles to the kids as they helped them pick out a special surprise.

They also generously provided life-saving Child ID Kits for families picking up their supplies, which is an incredibly valuable resource for parents. We're so thankful to your whole group for coming

We’re so thankful for their continued support and for showing up year after year to make our Back2School program even more special for families.

Please join us in sending a huge thank you to the Victoria Lions for another wonderful Back2School event! 🦁💙

1Up families: If you weren’t able to attend but are interested in a Child ID Kit, we still have a few available. Email [email protected] to learn more.

Member Monday

Back-to-school season can bring a lot of moving pieces — new routines, busy days, and plenty of juggling. In the middle of it all, we’re grateful for the power of community and for every family that helps make 1Up a place of support, care, and connection.

Wishing our 1Up families a gentle start to the school year. You’re not doing this alone. ✏️🍎

😂 FRIDAY MOOD.

Back to school is officially in the air… and we’re pretty sure some parents can already smell the freshly sharpened pencils and a little bit of freedom. 😏✏️

11 DAYS TO GO! Not that anyone’s counting… 😂

Wishing all our 1Up families a fun final stretch of summer break!

💜 Thankful Thursday 💜

This week, we’re giving a very special thank you to Level Ground Coffee Roasters for sponsoring our *NEW* Parent Member Coffee Bar at 1Up. ☕

For a busy single parent, something as simple as a warm cup of coffee can help change the tone of the morning, a small chance to pause, recharge, and feel a little more cared for.

We’re so grateful to Level Ground for helping us create another welcoming touch for the parents who walk through our doors. Community support like this helps make 1Up feel warm, connected, and supportive in all the little ways that matter.
