CSLA was back at Children and Family Urban Movement for Supper Club!

Our team loved stepping away from our usual workload to work alongside the staff at CFUM, prepping and serving meals for families in the River Bend neighborhood. Their passion for their community is contagious, and it’s been so rewarding reconnecting with familiar faces each time we visit. We are grateful to play a small part in supporting this local DSM neighborhood!
