25 years of
making a difference
Our Mission
We are dedicated to creating a brighter future for the less fortunate – to build a community where people of all ages can give generously of their time, talents and resources.
Over the last 25 years, we have grown and evolved, but our commitment to our community remains steadfast. In our early years, we focused on community clean-ups and beautification projects, working to improve the appearance and safety of public spaces. As we gained momentum, we expanded our reach and began to work on a wider range of initiatives, from home repairs and renovations for low-income families to educational programs for youth.
Today, we continue to focus on volunteer service as a way to create positive change. Our programs and initiatives are designed to address the most pressing needs in our community, from supporting seniors and individuals with disabilities to promoting fair treatment of all members of the community, regardless of their background, abilities, or circumstances.
Our impact since 1997.
