On November 13, 2022, the House of Restoration Community Connection put on their annual “She’s Worthy.” Thanksgiving dinner for local Lemon Grove single mothers and their families. Mrs. Lavada England connected with many local businesses to show these women they ARE supported in the community. 

Mrs. England and her business partner, Curtis, from Camp Curtis, and the owner of Olga’s Closet, Olga Auclair, were able to put together an amazing event. Single moms and children were able to experience a lovely day filled with painting, fun games, a petting zoo, and a dear storytelling by  “The Golden Brown Fairy Godmother” herself! Donations were provided for raffle games all day long.

It takes a village! A special “Thank you” to our donors, who made this day possible. Thanksgiving dinner was provided by donations along with turkey donations from a local restaurant, Giaradin’s, and cooked by Essie Mae’s Catering.
