For 65 years, we have been inspired by the generosity and commitment of people and organizations who love their community. It is our honor to work with all our partners in creating communities where all people have the opportunity to flourish. We are built to be here for good for our region and our new strategic plan helps us fulfill this promise to the communities and people we serve.
