2023 has been an amazing year

So many people have contributed to our success in returning our programs to the community and practicing with new hybrid tools to reach more and more people where they live! As we launch our new strategic vision and mission we are grateful for the support of our donors, partners, and volunteers!

Thank you to our donors for your continued support!

Donors make such a big difference in supporting our fundraising and program activities: like Mike Russell, who contributed the electric scooter for our Pledge challenge, and Lynne Nittler, who made donor challenges for Big Day of Giving and the Annual Fall Appeal.  We are so excited to see your support for us as we move forward with our new strategic goals to reach more neighborhoods across our region in the coming years!
