In a heartwarming gesture of community support, Bill Lochte, President of Praise in the Pines, recently presented a generous donation to Northwoods Share. The funds, raised from a portion of ticket sales from the annual Praise in the Pines Music Festival, are earmarked for Esther’s House, a vital ministry under Northwoods Share.
Esther’s House provides crucial transitional housing and comprehensive assistance to single moms and their children, offering them a stable and supportive environment as they work towards independence. The donation from Praise in the Pines will help further this mission, ensuring that more families have access to the resources they need during challenging times.
“We are thrilled to support Esther’s House and the incredible work they do for our community,” said Lochte. “This partnership is a testament to the power of coming together to uplift those in need, and we are proud to contribute to such a worthy cause.”
Kent Kohn, a representative from Northwoods Share, expressed deep gratitude for the donation. “The support from Praise in the Pines is invaluable,” he said. “It enables us to continue providing essential services to single mothers and their children, helping them build a better future.”
The collaboration between Praise in the Pines and Northwoods Share exemplifies how community events can significantly support local organizations and improve the lives of those in need. As the festival continues to grow, so does its impact to foster positive change in the community.
