Delivering for Our Community
Neighbors,
We couldn't have anticipated a year like 2020. Thanks to all our community members who provided mutual aid to our vulnerable neighbors, advocated for a thriving south end, and marched in the streets for racial equity. It's been a privilege to work alongside you. We look forward to continuing the work in 2021!
