Help us pack 6000 blessing bags for the community.

As we honor the 90th Anniversary of McCrorey, we are celebrating this milestone through purpose, compassion, and community action with a special initiative: A Day of Service.

In recognition of this historic celebration, we will come together to pack 6,000 blessing bags that will be distributed to individuals experiencing homelessness throughout our community. This meaningful effort is rooted in the spirit of service, unity, and giving back—reflecting the lasting legacy and impact of McCrorey over the past 90 years.

Each blessing bag will serve as a reminder that kindness matters, community matters, and every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and cared for.

We invite volunteers, community members, organizations, and supporters to join us as we make a difference together—one bag, one act of kindness, and one life at a time.

Together, we celebrate 90 years not only by looking back at history, but by creating impact for the future.
