We welcome and embrace diversity among our members, volunteers, staff and decision-makers. We continually work to be a culturally competent and inclusive organization.
Community and Collaboration
We believe our community has a shared responsibility for ensuring that our neighbors can meet their basic needs. We believe we can accomplish more when we work collaboratively with community members and partners to achieve shared goals.
Our Supporters
We could not provide help to so many of our community members without your support. We are especially grateful to our philanthropic partners who generously support our many services and initiatives.
Our Impact
As the Center celebrates its 50th anniversary, it is hard to imagine how many meals, warm coats, and other basic needs have been provided over the last half century. As we embark on the future, we are committed to responding to the changing needs in our community.
