We did not apply for Seeds of Change in 2024, but will apply to be one of the non-profits receiving community support through the Round Up in 2025. We got the greatest number of votes for 2023 Round Up and were awarded the month of November. We want to thank the Co-Op and all of our supporters for their generosity, especially therapists who provided the incentives for giving: Pat Kanzler and Blu Carlile Roy.
