I have acquired some games!
Even on the most recent order, we are encountering issues. So, I picked up a good stock of what we had in store and am ordering more of what is here. (Not a lot of these games had multiple copies. And I am looking to get 4 each)
This is progress though.
Thanks everyone for the support.
Just a couple things I wanted to share here.
New games have been ordered. Throughout the year we had issues of items being backordered. A few logistics were changed and it looks like we will get the games in soon.
We are currently taking donations (see the donation page), but near the end of this month I will start sharing information, like I've done previous years.
Next year I will start events. The game store I work at, Little Big Wars, is very open to events and runs them frequently. I plan to do them quarterly. I will make an update when the time comes about what events will happen and how to get involved.
I want to apologize to anyone keeping tabs on the time to deliver games this year. Typically, I'd be able to go to a store and buy the games and deliver them within a week. However, the amount of money I received last year was much more than usual. And with production and shipping issues many companies still face, it was hard to get all the games that I wanted. Thankfully, Little Big Wars has experienced people and a large selection so I can be exposed to other game options. But, I know it has been nearly an entire year and the games haven't been delivered. Which I am not proud of. And it is hard for me to go into this holiday season asking for more donations because of that.
My life was pretty busy the last few months and it was hard to multitask. I do a lot of this (not all) by myself and it can get overwhelming. Plans get pushed back more than I like. But I'm hoping once the Non-Profit organization get sorted out and I get some events going, I'll have the momentum and experience to keep consistent.

Hello everyone. I have a few tidbits of what has been going on.
The website is live! There are a few things that are not at 100% but it is as functional as it needs to be currently. Feel free to email me suggestions.
The games that are backordered are being looked into by our new ordering manager. If we cannot get them soon, I will order alternatives.
I have a new logo being made. Hopefully it will be ready by the end of September.
I have begun the arduous task of becoming a 501(c) (3) non profit. It is more involved than I thought but progress is being made.
Until I become a 501(c) (3), we will use GoFundMe like before. The DONATE link will take you to that page.
The Hebron Fall Festival just finished and it was very successful. A big thanks to my Sister Amber Krenzel who did tons of work for it and raised a notable amount.
If you have suggestions for social media platforms you prefer, let me know.
