Hello Lisa,
February is a month of reflection, celebration, and LOVE.
At WE CAN, we remain committed to fighting systemic racism and uplifting people of color. As we honor Black History Month, we recognize the resilience, brilliance, and contributions of Black leaders in our community and those who have fought for equitable opportunities in our country.
This month also brings the culmination of Lunar New Year celebrations, marking the Year of the Snake. To those celebrating, we wish you health, wisdom, and good fortune in this new year!
And of course, February wouldn’t be complete without a reminder of LOVE. Love for ourselves, for one another, and for the community we continue to build together. WE CAN supports all women, all people of color, and all individuals, regardless of sexual orientation or immigration status. Our doors, our programs, and our hearts are open to all.
✨ Coming Soon: Quarterly Program Updates! ✨
Starting this month, we’re taking a deeper dive into the heart of our programs and the incredible community that makes them thrive! Our quarterly updates will showcase the dedicated volunteers who bring our mission to life, the transformative impact on participants, and the meaningful connections built along the way.
Expect insights into our services, a closer look at current program offerings, inspiring stories, and opportunities to get involved. Stay connected—there’s so much more to explore! 🌟
