OUR INITIATIVES

Action items to improve equity, inclusion, and justice within our community & organization.

1 - Educate ourselves

2 - Foster Inclusive Community Engagement

Action Item: Prioritize outreach and interaction with diverse community organizations, including those representing BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, differently-abled individuals, and other underserved communities, when planning for future projects to allow for a richer understanding of unique perspectives, needs, and preferences.
3 - Diversify Leadership

Action Item: Cultivate relationships with diverse and under-served communities to seek candidates who not only possess distinctive skill sets that match our organization's needs but also bring unique experiences and varied perspectives to our team. 
4 - Maintain Distribution of Food to Families in Need
