At a time when our culture often seems to be coming apart, LYDIA is helping put families back together. Hope is a future. (Acts 16:14-15)
What an incredible day at our 4th Annual Footsteps for Families Fun Run! 🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃🏾♀️🏃🏾♂️💙💚💜
Today we gathered with families, church partners, supporters, volunteers, and community members to celebrate, run, laugh, and make a difference for children and families in our community. From our 1-Mile Fun Run to carnival games, DJ, snow cones, hot dogs, and so much more, every smile and every step helped support the mission of serving vulnerable children and strengthening families.
As we celebrated Lydia Home’s 110-Year Anniversary, we were reminded that generations of impact are only possible because of faithful supporters like YOU. Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, donated, and cheered us on throughout the day!
