Donation Check to Middlefield Vol. Fire Dept. 2025
2025-12-15 | Middlefield, Middlefield, CT, 06450, United States
Each year, we proudly donate $10,000 to the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department, and 2025 was no exception. On December 15, 2025, a $10,000 donation was made in continued support of the men and women who selflessly protect and serve the Middlefield community.

This annual donation is made possible because of the generosity of our donors and supporters. Their continued trust allows us to give back year after year in ways that directly strengthen the community we call home.
We are honored to stand behind the Middlefield Volunteer Fire Department and grateful for the commitment, courage, and care they show every day.

2025-12-20 | Goiânia, Goiânia, Goiás, 74000, Brazil
Project Hope Brazil 2025 was not just an event. It was a reminder.
A reminder that honor lives in service, that kindness requires action, and that showing up for those who need it most is not an obligation, but a privilege.
Through this toy drive, we had the opportunity to serve children and families across Brazil with dignity, care, and joy during the Christmas season. Every smile shared, every embrace exchanged, and every toy given with intention reflected the heart of this mission. Meeting people where they are and reminding them that they are seen, valued, and deeply loved.
This work is never taken lightly. To serve is an honor. To give is a blessing.
We are deeply grateful to every donor, volunteer, and partner whose generosity made this project possible. Because of you, hope was not only felt, but it was also delivered.
Hope is not just something we speak about.
Hope is something we carry.
Hope is something we deliver.
Hope is on the move.
