We believe that basic access to food and housing is fundamental to a community’s well-being. We are committed to helping our neighbors meet their needs for food, housing and independent living. In 2018, we awarded 113 human services grants and corporate contributions totaling $1.8 million. |

We support initiatives that attract economic development, create jobs and equip workers with the skills needed for the jobs of the future. Communities thrive when individuals have the capacity to earn a living that will support themselves and their families. |

Arts education and cultural activities are not only catalysts for learning; they foster creativity and confidence in children that can have a positive impact in the classroom and beyond. Performances, exhibitions and hands-on arts projects bridge our differences and draw us together, inspiring our children and strengthening our communities. |
