NOVEMBER 2025

 

As we enter the holiday season, a time of reflection, gratitude, and generosity, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible impact of our nonprofits. Every day, our community causes work tirelessly to uplift lives, strengthen neighborhoods, and bring hope where it’s needed most.


This season reminds us that giving isn’t just about gifts; it’s about giving back. Whether through volunteering, donating, or simply spreading kindness, we all have the power to make a difference.

Let’s celebrate and support the nonprofits that make our community stronger. Together, we can ensure that this compassionate culture continues to thrive long after the holidays.

 

- Trudy Crowetz, President & CEO
