Off to a Great Start

On September 8th, the community came together for music, games, and food at Peter Paul's Community Block Party. It was a fantastic start to the school year, and perfect timing with our new Chief Executive Officer’s first week!

Lewis Ginter was in attendance.The Children's Museum of Richmond, handed out free books. RVA Community Fridges provided resources on food insecurity, and the City of Richmond provided a free snow cone truck! We want to thank ALL our community partners and volunteers who made this event happen, with a special thank you to Anthem HealthKeepers Plus for sponsoring the event.

We hope everyone enjoyed their time with us, and we look forward to seeing you at more Peter Paul community events.

Partner Spotlight: The Mission Continues

In honor of 9/11, The Mission Continues volunteered with Peter Paul to make more improvements to our facility. They did an excellent job of building new garden beds, picking up trash, weeding, stapling up the netting where the children do Garden Club, and even did some snake prevention! Thank you so much for your service!
