Donations are used to grow vital community initiatives including:
Senior Support Programs
Many of our programs like Neighbor 2 Neighbor or Medical Transportation are designed to support older adults and those with disabilities so they can continue to live independent lives.
Youth Programs & Suicide Awareness
Programs like Connecting Students to Communities inspire young adults to incorporate service into their daily lives while our P.A.C.T. program works to raise awareness for suicide prevention.
Community Support
We are the communication hub for volunteerism in our service areas. Nonprofits use our network to fill their empty volunteer positions allowing them to stay focused on their larger mission.
