“As we meet for the second consecutive year virtually, we will celebrate – as a community – the way we connected, communicated, and coped in a most challenging year,” said CEO Marc Hopin. “We were adaptable, flexible, open, and optimistic, finding creative ways to continue providing the critical services and programs for those who needed us. We remained the place for people to turn for help, assisting more people with greater needs than ever before.”
