From the Team: An Update from Program Director Olivia Campbell
Our neighbors know that when they’re struggling, they can turn to our team. We’re there when they need us, ready to walk alongside them to set goals, access resources, and sharpen skills. We respond to individual needs and goals, and work one-on-one to partner with each guest on a way forward, letting them know that they don’t have to face challenges alone.
Local churches are invaluable supporters, volunteers, and partners for us and so many other nonprofits in the area.
