education, income and health.. Since 1987, these resources
include our special relationships with corporate, non-profit, and
government sectors, our credibility and know-how built on decades
of experience; our partnerships with hundreds of community
agencies; our capacity to engage hundreds of volunteers; our
effective participation in advocacy for sensible and humane public
policies; and a cadre of generous and committed workplace and
individual donors that dedicate hundreds of thousands of dollars
to making a difference - right here in our community!
