People. Stories. Community- A Non-Profit Community Night

Date: Thursday, February 26

Time: 5:30–7:30 PM

Location: Stories Coffee – Gretna

People. Stories. Community. is an evening designed to bring nonprofit leaders together to connect with peers, share ideas, and build momentum around the work they care about.

Hosted at the Stories Coffee Gretna location, this event also serves as a chance to experience the Stories event space — a warm, welcoming environment designed for community gatherings, nonprofit events, and meaningful conversations.

This event is first and foremost a networking opportunity for nonprofits across the community. The evening also includes a short, practical learning moment to help organizations think more clearly about how they share their mission, grow awareness, and strengthen connection without feeling overwhelmed by the idea of a rebrand.

The goal is simple: create space for people to come together, exchange stories, and leave with clarity, confidence, and new connections.
