November 2023

We have enjoyed so much support in our community- folks who volunteer their time and energy, employers who run campaigns, and people who generously give of their finances. It all makes such a huge difference in the way we're able to show up and serve. Thank you- we couldn't do what we do without you.

Our goal is $950,000 raised for 2024. We know that these funds will make an impact on the lives of our neighbors, friends, and coworkers. Every dollar counts, so please click below to donate today!
