Grassroots’ Past Events

Collage of icons from past events including an image of a journal, the logo for CUPP of Hope, the word Yoga, and a picture of colorful art supplies.
The most beautiful things are not associated with money; they are memories and moments. If you don’t celebrate those, they can pass you by.
