A Village for Courtney

Galesburg, IL

W
Story

Courtney just welcomed her beautiful baby boy, Carter Joseph, on April 10th. She is soaking in these precious early days and adjusting to caring for three little ones. As she prepares to return to work real soon (2 weeks post partum), let’s come together as her village and love on her in a practical way. Not having to worry about a meal during this tender time can make a big difference for her and her babies 🩵 Drop-offs can be left on Courtney’s front porch, please send her a message to let her know you’re on the way and to confirm the address.
