How you can unwrap hope ...
As we give thanks this Thanksgiving, we reflect on the meaningful impact we've made together. Yet, recently the need has grown and we still need our community's help. Over the past month, compared to last October:
-
We saw a 65% increase in visits to our food and nutrition center.
-
We responded to 384 calls to our domestic violence hotline, a 95% increase.
Please read more in our CEO John Van Cleef's blog post, and scroll below for some ways you can get help or give help this season.
