In 2024, we came together to serve 249 meals and contribute over 3,700 volunteer hours, making a tangible difference. This essential work helps provide stability, support, and opportunity for families and neighbors in our community.

As we move into 2025, we need your help to sustain and expand this mission. Your holiday gift will empower us to continue creating lasting change, eliminating racism, and fostering a future of justice, dignity, and equity for all. Will you join the movement?
