Legacy & Lace Mother’s Day Tea Fundraiser

Women from all walks of life—community leaders, volunteers, mothers, and those currently or recently experiencing homelessness—gathered in one beautiful room to be simply, and deeply, honored.

For a few precious hours, the room was filled with worship, laughter, and warm conversation. It was a day of exquisite decor, incredible food, and meaningful gifts, but above all, it was a day of overwhelming love.

Because of YOUR support, our first fundraiser was a success! We anticipate that approximately $5,000 will go directly toward the heart of our mission: the ongoing work of The Esther Project. Thank you for making this possible.
