Investing in Community Impact
Volunteers and staff research and review human and social conditions in the community and develop Community Impact Priorities based on the most urgent issues and where/how we can support solutions that will have the most impact on the community as a whole. Our four priority areas are listed below.
Everybody needs to eat.
Feeding the hungry and housing the homeless, increasing self-sufficiency and finding access to jobs, housing and treatment.
Our youth control the future.
Teaching youth the skills they need to make smart choices and become responsible, caring members of our community.
Babies don't come with an instruction manual.
Reducing the number of babies born with low birth weight, promoting healthy development and identifying delays in children.

Safe from Violence & Abuse
Violence hurts.
Keeping families safe; protecting our most vulnerable citizens; reducing isolation and providing resources for victims.
The Community Plan
The Community Plan was developed by twenty-three groups and more than 500 of our neighbors analyzing data, combining plans, setting priorities and deciding on measures of our community's health and livability. This plan is intended to help focus our collective efforts to see positive results as we work together toward a common goal: a healthy place to live, work, raise a family, or retire.
