We're heartbroken by the the federal government's decisions of to end or withhold support for many of our vital community services. We participate in public-private partnerships to scale and sustain our impact on the community and for those we serve. Our country's human service delivery system is built on public-private partnerships. Community members rely on us to deliver services promised by government - if we can't fulfill our commitments to community members and the public, who will?

"They arrive here with a promise of building a better life, a brighter future, not just for themselves, but for all of us, and they're in a situation where they don't know where their next meal is coming from.
