During a time of profound sorrow, the entire Spread the Love Projects Team stood with the grieving families and friends of Rustic Ridge, as well as the broader Plum community, following the devastating explosion that occurred on Saturday, August 12th. The resounding blast brought complete destruction to three homes, inflicted extensive damage on numerous others, and tragically claimed the lives of five individuals, including a father and his son.

       In the face of this heart-wrenching tragedy, we extended our heartfelt condolences and urged the community to join us in solidarity. Spread the Love Projects remained steadfastly committed to offering unwavering support to the families affected by this unimaginable catastrophe. We united in compassion and strength, providing solace to those in need as they navigated through these challenging times.

       Spread the Love Projects not only stood in solidarity but also took concrete actions to alleviate the suffering of the Rustic Ridge community. We proudly announced that we had pledged to donate 100% of our #PLUMSTRONG t-shirt profits generated during this period to support the families who were struggling through this difficult time.

       Every purchase of a #PLUMSTRONG t-shirt directly contributed to providing much-needed assistance to those affected by the explosion. This initiative was a testament to our unwavering commitment to the well-being of our community and our dedication to making a meaningful impact during times of crisis.

       Spread the Love Projects would like to express our deepest gratitude to all those who supported our mission during this challenging time. Your generous contributions and unwavering solidarity made a significant difference in the lives of the Rustic Ridge families. Together, we demonstrated the power of community and compassion.

       While the fundraiser has concluded, our commitment to supporting the Rustic Ridge families remains unwavering. Spread the Love Projects invites everyone to continue supporting our ongoing initiatives to help those in need within our community.
