Featured Speaker

Angela Hollingsworth, representing Care to Learn, was the featured speaker.

Care to Learn is founded on the belief that children cannot learn and grow unless their basic needs are met. Established in 2007 by Doug Pitt, the organization works to fill gaps by providing food and essential support to children. To date, Care to Learn has helped meet over 3 million needs, with 100% of donated funds going directly to children. Angela shared several examples of how Care to Learn has supported children within our local community.
