Your (first) Monthly Catch Up!

A New View of Your Impact

For 31 years, we've been asking you to support our efforts to address unmet needs in our community. As the needs have evolved, we've been able to count on the consistent and incredible generosity of so many.

You've allowed us to lead with impact, and we want to renew our efforts to share that impact with you. Our new, monthly newsletter will be a way to tell you about the individuals and organizations whose work you make possible.

We hope you enjoy your brand new Community Catch Up.
