Thank Yous

Great thanks to the wonderful congregation at Faith Evangelical Lutheran Church for choosing YANA as your February Mission of the Month recipient once again! We are so grateful to be part of such a compassionate community.

A massive thank you to Jerry for once again hosting a Super Bowl game-day pool in support of YANA. We absolutely love seeing a little friendly competition turn into meaningful support for local families. And the generosity didn’t stop there! Not only did Jerry donate half the pot, but the winner, Cole Logan, so kindly donated his winnings back as well. Incredible.

This is what community looks like. Thank you both for turning game day into a win for YANA families! 🏈✨

Just wanting to thank Truffula Tree Farm for including YANA in their season this year!
