our work

We improve the qualify of life for our region's children and families by uniting effective partners, wise investments, and committed volunteers to strategically tackle the most critical issues and create measurable differences in our neighborhoods.

Drawing on our unique capabilities as a leader, catalyst, convener, fund raiser, and volunteer organization, we rally the community to ensure that families and neighborhoods in the 87 cities and towns across our footprint have the tools needed for every child to become an independent, productive adult.

children and youth

Our work with children and youth centers around childcare assistance, social and emotion needs and learning, positive relationships with adults inside and outside the family, and ensuring children are given environments in which they can live, learn, adapt and grow.

family and community

Our work to strengthen families and communities focuses on addressing basic needs, assisting people in finding long-term employment and helping people find permanent housing.
