School Supplies for Neighborhood Refugee Children

We have reached that time of the year again… back to school! It is a time of celebration for (most) kids and (all) parents!

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
