Dear Litmus,
As we come to the end of a year like no other, I invite you to join me in celebrating the incredible generosity and resilience of our volunteers, our agency partners, staff and our overall community. Especially, how together, we've expanded our work to address the new needs created by COVID-19 and how we’ve come together to lift up each other, and our community, during these unprecedented times. I am honored to be president and CEO of your United Way, and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of this community. I look forward to working together for an equitable and just community providing opportunities for all our neighbors.
