On May 15, the Solid Ground community came together in a groundswell of love, community, and a shared commitment to lift up and cherish our neighbors.

Below are just a few scenes from this year’s Groundswell Gala, a joyful night of live music, food, dancing, storytelling, and generosity. Did you stop by the photobooth? Make sure to get your snapshots from Youth in Focus!
