Community Outreach Task Force

We are the only 100% volunteer-based outreach group in the community. Even though we receive a good amount of physical donations, sometimes it isn’t enough, and we need to rely on raised funds to purchase supplies. In the last 2 years we’ve gone from serving 30 people to over 60 on ...

We urge all other citizens to pay attention as well.   Our democracy is stronger when all voters can cast their ballots. ...
