A huge thank you to ABC7 Sarasota - WWSB for having two of our young adults from the H.I.V.E. on-air for a cooking segment with Ms. MaryAnn and Ms. Anna! We had a fantastic time showing off our participants’ awesome abilities and discussing our new program’s #EarnedIncome venture through No Margin, No Mission and The Patterson Foundation. We are so grateful to be part of a community that helps our #MissionThrive!
