60 Years of Community Action

Join us as we celebrate our Local Heroes - those who make a powerful difference in the fight against poverty and the strength of our communities. This year’s event will be especially meaningful as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of our founding and recognize both the impact and importance of community action to make a critical difference for our most vulnerable neighbors during times of great uncertainty. As we work each day to be steadfast for our communities, we look to our communities for continued support, collaboration, and partnership.
