HIDDEN HEROES REVEALED!
Our Volunteer Program Manager, Elise Samet, was a winner of the Community Foundation of Broward's Hidden Heroes Awards. The Foundation wanted to shine a light on individuals who stepped up when our community needed them most and enabled their nonprofit to continue providing valuable services to those in need during the pandemic.

We are honored to be among the other winners, and so thankful to the Community Foundation of Broward for their acknowledgment and support.
