🌿 Thank you, Plant Mode! 🌿

We are incredibly grateful to Plant Mode for hosting not one, but TWO Plant Bingo events in support of STRIDES and generously donating a portion of the proceeds!

Partnerships like this remind us that supporting our neighbors can take many forms. Thank you to Plant Mode for choosing to support STRIDES, and to everyone who purchased a ticket, played along, and helped make both events a success! 🪴

Together, we’re Rebuilding Community. 💚
