Hopefully, as you read this you are holding your family and friends in your heart! Our thoughts are centered on those who are affected by Hurricane Harvey, an epic and catastrophic storm that continues to pummel our precious Texas coast and impact our neighbors across the Houston area.

 

During these challenging days our nonprofit community provides a lifeline to thousands in need. I hope you will join me in generously sharing your time, talent and treasure to assist those who are facing hardships in the days, months and years to come. I am very thankful to be a part of a caring profession that truly makes a difference in so many lives!

 

Tough situations can test our limits, especially when things around us are so uncertain. We welcome, Alice Ferris, a 25-year seasoned fundraising professional, who graciously shares her expertise in a conversational and knowledgeable manner.
