Youâre Invited â A Community Meal in Giving & Grace
Four years ago, I had the privilege of hosting my first dinner at Save On Meats, gathering a small group of friends to cook and serve a warm, shared meal to members of our community who might not otherwise experience one. That evening stayed with meânot because of the food alone, but because of what happens when people are seen, welcomed, and cared for.
This season of my life, as many of you know, has been one that has required humility and grace. I have been held by community in ways I do not take lightly. This gathering is an invitation to extend that same care outwardâbecause for many, that support does not exist.
On Thursday, the 27th, we will once again gather at the historic Save On Meats diner on Hastings Street to cook, serve, and share a meal with members of our community. This evening is about presence, dignity, and reminding people that they matter.
We are covering the core costs of the evening so that participation is simpleâyour presence is what matters most. For those who feel called to give further or help us reach our community fundraising goal, I will be sharing the donation link as well.

Self-care can only truly happen when people know they are cared for. This evening is a small but meaningful way to remind our community that they are seen and valued. If this resonates with you, I would be honoured to have you join us.

Cuddle & Kind
Provide 500 meals to Children in Need!
Since 2014, we've celebrated student birthdays by gifting 52 Cuddle + Kind dolls, providing 520 meals to children worldwide. Every purchase truly mattersâschool meals, made possible through our giving partners, are often the only meal a child receives in a day. In some communities, students walk an hour each way to attend school, showing their dedication to education and a better future.
Join us in making a significant impact. Together, we are transforming the lives of thousands of children, their families, and communities. Thank you for being part of this meaningful journey.

Foster Love
The Trash Bag Problem
At Howell Academics, we are dedicated to making a meaningful impact beyond the classroom. This holiday season, we are committed to raising $5,000 by Christmas 2025 to support Foster Love's Sweet Case program. This vital initiative provides children entering foster care with a dignified alternative to the standard trash bags used for their belongings. Each Sweet Case includes essentials that bring comfort and care to children during a difficult transition, helping them feel valued and supported from the start of their foster care journey. With your help, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of these children.
