When the task of sorting and organizing all the materials for the 2026 season of Twinkle Nights quickly became more than our small team could handle, we reached out to United Way of Hancock County and their Days of Caring campaign for an assist.
We were delighted to learn that a team of specially trained organizing heroes from Freudenberg-NOK had stepped up to the challenge. They spent the day helping us build, sort, tag, count and store just about everything that makes Twinkle Nights shine, including light displays, hundreds of strands, bulbs, controllers, hardware and so. many. extension. cords. By the end of the day, our storage units looked completely different, our inventory made a whole lot more sense, and our team was in a much better position to start turning all of those boxes and bins into this year’s Twinkle Nights show.
We talk a lot at Family Resource Center about the importance of asking for help when life’s challenges feel like too much to handle, and we’re certainly not immune to feeling overwhelmed. We are grateful to everyone who answered our call for help.
A huge thank you to our friends at Freudenberg-NOK for answering the call, and to United Way of Hancock County for bringing people together through Days of Caring. You made a BIG job feel a whole lot more manageable and helped us take another big step toward making this year’s Twinkle Nights bigger and brighter than ever.
