Our Mission

To unite individuals and organizations in teamwork that fosters the health, education, and financial stability of our community.

 

Our Vision

Transforming our community through collaborative partnerships to create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

 

What do we mean by “transforming”?

We chose the word “transforming” because we want to convey the dramatic change that we envision in our community environment. However, it’s important to understand that we are not turning our backs on the current needs of the community. Rather, we are seeking to break cycles of dependence and ultimately transform to a healthy and thriving community.

 

What are “collaborative partnerships”?

Through “collaborative partnerships,” we mean to highlight that we’ll work together, not only with our agencies, but with new partners to leverage positive change. We help connect those in need with those who can serve them, but we also bring together community leaders, volunteers, visionaries, and businesses to effectively address both the current needs in our community and also ways to eliminate the need at its root causes.

 

Why do we use the words “opportunity to reach their full potential”?

We believe that individuals are responsible for driving change in their own lives. Our goal is to eliminate barriers and foster an environment of opportunity in education, health, and income stability.

 

UNITED IS THE WAY
