What Your Donation Supports:
Empowering Youth: Through programs like Head Start/Early Head Start, we give children a world-class start, fostering school readiness and healthy development.
Strengthening Families: Our Family Self-Sufficiency Program provides crucial peer support, helping families achieve better jobs and brighter futures.
Driving Systemic Change: Social Justice initiatives like our emerging "Greenlining" coalition address policies and practices that limit opportunity, working to close the racial wealth gap and create a more equitable community for all.
Meeting Basic Needs: From energy assistance to community development programs, we address the holistic needs of individuals and families affected by poverty.
Rethinking Poverty
Poverty isn't always what you expect. In our community:
The face of poverty might surprise you. It's your neighbor in the suburbs, or the person working next to you.
For every unemployed person living in poverty, there are two working people living in poverty.
Poverty isn't always a matter of unemployment, but of wages that don't meet the cost of living.
