Mission: Mobilizing the power of our community to break the cycle of poverty

Hearts for Families

The venue for Women United Luncheons is far more than just a gathering place—each has become a haven where women come together to honor, support, and uplift one another. Friendships blossom, tears flow, and we grieve for those who have faced difficult challenges.

A place of joy, we celebrate victories, share laughter and find strength from the stories of the Woman of Distinction and Woman of Courage who inspire us all.
