We advance the common good by focusing on the building blocks of better lives:  Education, Financial Stability, and Health.  Last winter was very challenging for many of our neighbors and our communities mobilized to help. Challenging economic times continue and we are focused on the basics of helping our neighbors, including having enough food. We continue our support of 2-1-1, which many people who have never needed help before, are calling. We also are working to help people connect with mental health services in our region, young people develop positive assets, and children enter school ready to read, learn and succeed. Our ultimate goal is long-lasting change that prevents problems from happening in the first place.

Our 37 local partner agencies helped an estimated 20,000 people change their lives last year.  Thank you to the over 8,000 donors who chose to give to our successful annual campaign. 

You can be part of changing things for the better.  You can give, you can advocate – raise your voice on behalf of others to inspire hope and change – and you can volunteer.  When you do – when you live your life as part of something bigger than yourself – the ripple effects of your compassion at work benefit our whole community.
