Our Collective Impact

Covid-19 has been difficult for many in our community even more so if you have kids. We have and continue to provide help for those that need it just like we were before and will be again after the pandemic. 
Lily's Story is one of many we are proud to share in. Today Lily is finishing her Master's to become a hearing and speech therapist.  Join us as we help children and families thrive and succeed.
