Looking Toward 2022 With Hope - A Letter from the Executive Director
As we wrap up 2021 and look toward the new year, it’s with so much hope. However, there are also some challenging realities that we need to prepare for. Through your support, we’re able to give approximately $180,000 each year to directly support these important efforts in the critical areas of education and humanitarian aid. These are broad categories but within them are the things we see most in the community: struggles with literacy, opportunity, hunger, safe housing and more. As we move into the holiday season, we also transition into our annual giving campaign for the first time since 2019. This year, we’d like to ask you to help us continue to do our essential work in the community.

Your support goes even further if we receive your donations before the state’s tax-free weekend, which begins this year on August 6.
