Diverse organizations and individuals working together for strengthened programs, connection and improved awareness of services that meet essential human needs.
More than thirty-five thousand people in our community are struggling to break out of poverty. That's one person out of six, or one child out of four. Even more troubling is that despite a lot of hard work by many wonderful organizations, the numbers keep increasing. What are we doing wrong? We have evidence-based effective programs operated by caring and knowledgeable individuals, everyone doing his or her best to improve lives; yet despite our efforts, the number of people is unacceptable. If we keep doing the same things, the numbers will continue to rise and we'll fall farther behind. How can we turn that trend around? What would it take to double our efforts? If a program reaches 500, how can we make it reach a thousand? Where do we find the extra resources it takes to raise more people out of poverty, to keep others from falling in and to put families on the right track? We've reached a point in time where if we hope to foster human dignity and tap the potential of those we serve, we must work together and trust in each others' strengths. It's time for collective action! Difficult? Without a doubt, Necessary? Absolutely!, Exciting? Yes!
