Taking Action, One Neighbor at a Time

As the Executive Director, I am deeply committed to our community, enhancing our existing programs, expanding into new areas, and cultivating strong relationships. Our programs offer a wide range of services, including housing assistance, energy assistance, case management, job training, child care, and more, all designed to help low-income individuals and families achieve independence and self-sufficiency.
