Thank you, Thursday 💚

A huge thank you to the Corcoran McEnearney Group for volunteering at our Food Distribution with the Department of Community & Human Services! Their team played an important role in helping us serve more than 100 families, ensuring our neighbors had access to fresh, nutritious food.

In addition to volunteering, they organized a month-long food drive throughout July, collecting donations to further support ALIVE!’s mission. Their generosity and commitment to our community are truly appreciated.

We are incredibly thankful for our community partners like the Corcoran McEnearney Group who make a lasting impact through both service and philanthropy.
