Every preschooler should have access to high-quality childcare and nurturing teachers.
-
Individuals and families deserve affordable housing in our communities
-
Seniors need support to combat social isolation and find a healthy sense of belonging.
-
All children should be able to benefit from participating in sports, afterschool programs, summer camps and should learn to swim and become safe in the water
-
Everyone should be able to improve their mental and physical wellness in a facility equipped and staffed to help them
-
Our communities thrive when it includes a place to find unity and community and where all are welcome.
-
None of these activities should be limited due to an inability to pay!
