Started in 2015, our organization works with non-profits and charities to fund projects related to health, education, and youth, inspired by the story of the Water in the Vessel at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-12). We seek to tell the stories of the people and projects we support, hoping to connect people with organizations we believe in, and focus on building bridges between the communities we help and the charities we trust.
