Thrivent and Helping People Succeed celebrated the end of another outstanding month-long “Baby Showers” event on April 27 with a catered brunch at the nonprofit’s Jensen Beach headquarters.
For over 10 years, this community-wide event has collected baby necessities for families in need who are served through Helping People Succeed’s Healthy Families program and Baby Steps, which offers support and services to families who may be experiencing stress in their lives that makes parenting more challenging.
These services are offered through home visits with a Family Support Specialist which may start before or shortly after the birth of a baby, and can continue until the child’s 5th birthday.
The major event, held on April 27, was an actual Baby Shower with a buffet brunch – catered by Jan’s Place, games, music and more.
The team from Pathfinder Financial Group of Thrivent, who generously sponsored this brunch, were on hand to show their appreciation to generous donors. They wholeheartedly believe that money is a gift to be stewarded; to help make a positive impact on our community. They understand it’s hard enough to raise a child under normal circumstances. Helping People Succeed walks alongside families to help them flourish; which is why Amy, Rob, and Heather (of Thrivent) partnered to amplify the impact of April Showers.
Helping People Succeed is thankful for the support from Thrivent as well as the entire community. Over 30 businesses in Martin, St. Lucie and Okeechobee counties hosted “Shower Boxes” in their businesses. These in-kind donations equate to a $17,000 gift to Helping People Succeed. Suzy Hutcheson, CEO of Helping People Succeed shared, “April Showers brings happiness to so many of the families we serve who don’t receive new gifts or baby showers. Rob, Amy and Heather are great examples of how giving, especially to those who truly need it, makes our community and our world better”.
