UpsideDown Moments September Wrap-Up Newsletter

September 2024

Donations, Packing, Move-Ins and more!

 
August Events for UpsideDown Moments

September has been an incredible month for UpsideDown Moments! Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of our community, we received many clothing donations that will go to children and families in need. We were honored to attend the Kyrus Charities Golf Tournament, where we raised awareness for our mission. Our volunteers also came together for several sorting events, helping to organize and prepare donations for distribution. From clothing drives to special events, it’s been a month full of activity and heart, and we are so grateful to everyone who made it possible!

 


Volunteers of the Month

The Mackey Family

We are excited to announce our Volunteers of the Month—the amazing Mackey family! Michael, Debbie, Jocelyn, and Lillianne came out to support our packing night for the Seasonal Blessings event and made a huge impact. Their hard work and enthusiasm helped us get a ton of clothing bags packed for the children in need. We are so grateful for their dedication and commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. Thank you, Mackey family, for being an incredible part of the UpsideDown Moments community!

UpsideDown Moments had a wonderful time attending the Kyrus Charities Golf Tournament! We are so grateful to everyone who stopped by our booth to learn more about our mission and support our work. It was a beautiful day filled with great conversations and community spirit. A special thank you to the Kyrus Charities- now know as Accelerated Visions- for choosing UpsideDown Moments as one of the sponsored organizations—your support means the world to us!




 

Caseworks received filled backpacks for Loudoun County children in foster care

UpsideDown Moments had an incredibly successful packing event night, where dedicated volunteers came together to pack bags of clothing for our upcoming Seasonal Blessings event. It was an inspiring evening filled with teamwork and generosity as we prepared to help clothe up to 500 children in need on October 5th. Thanks to the hard work and compassion of our amazing volunteers, we're one step closer to making sure these children have the clothing essentials they need for the season ahead. We couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who contributed to this effort! Together, we're spreading hope and warmth in our community.


 

Two friends spent time helping UpsideDown Moments sort through donations

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to Elissa Clark for her generous donation of pantry items, which will go a long way in supporting a former foster youth who just moved into a new apartment. These essentials provide a strong start in his new home. We are also deeply grateful to everyone who has donated other items—your contributions help make this transition smoother and show the power of community care. Thank you!

Your Support Makes a Difference!

UpsideDown Moments was honored to provide two young girls and their grandmother with suitcases filled with clothing, winter hats, and teddy bears to help them during a challenging time. Thanks to the generous donations from our amazing community, we were able to ensure that these girls have the essentials they need, along with a bit of warmth and comfort for the colder months ahead. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to support our mission—your contributions make a world of difference for families in need!
