Music with a Mission

Good music. Good people. A great cause.

Music with a Mission brings our community together for a day of live music, local support, and fundraising for The Branches.

Every ticket, sponsorship, donation, and helping hand contributes to the work that happens at The Branches every day, from providing meals and personal care to offering emergency assistance and connecting our neighbors with the resources they need.

Because when our community comes together, the impact goes far beyond just one day.

Family Fest

Every child deserves a day to simply be a kid.

Each summer, The Branches brings local children and families together for Family Fest — a free day filled with food, games, activities, laughter, and community.

For families facing financial hardship, opportunities for carefree family fun aren’t always easy to come by. Family Fest helps remove those barriers and creates a space where children can simply play, explore, make memories, and feel like they belong.

Made possible by generous volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners, Family Fest is about more than one day of fun.

It’s about reminding every child that they are seen, valued, and part of their community.
