Merry Christmas Eve! Just a few weeks ago, My husband, Kenny DeShields, and I hosted the 1st Delmar United Friendsgiving – a gathering of residents, business owners, ministry and civic leaders from both sides of the historically divided #DelmarDivide to share a meal and discuss ways to impact our community. It was more than what we could’ve dreamed or imagined!

Special thanks to Armand Buford for capturing our heart and vision with beautiful visual storytelling.

Please share with your family and friends and let’s keep the conversation going.
