Bloomington, Lincoln, & Deeper Still Banquet 2026

Thank you to all who were able to attend our Annual Banquet Celebration. Because of you, we get to show up every day and remind women that they are not alone. We get to sit across the table, listen to their stories, walk through the hard places with them, and celebrate the moments when hope begins to take root again. Your support is more than a gift. It is a reminder to a woman who may feel forgotten that she is seen, valued, and loved.

We are so grateful to have you on this journey with us.

  • Banquet Attendance: 500+
  • Volunteers: 32+
  • Sponsors: 40
  • Amount Raised: $206,526 and counting

We know life gets a little crazy, and we completely understand that not everyone who wanted to be there could make it. If you want to make a donation, use one of the secure donation buttons below. Thank you for being a part of all the amazing things God is doing.
