The day began with tours from our youth and interns and networking; and ended with a few speakers and delicious light lunch from our friends at Cathedral Kitchen, with deserts from Peace of Cake!
Mayor Moran attended and spoke at the Power-Up, awarding us with a proclamation honoring Hopeworks and our new space; and Congressman Donald Norcross also attended and spoke about his support of the work we do here.
