Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

We are working to restore hope and a sense of community pride through connection, collaboration, cooperation and action. By bring individuals, community groups and governmental resources together for service we are able to impact the needs of the community in ways that we could not do individually.

Host community meetings, identify community problems and seek consensus with community stakeholders. Identify resources and strategies, develop action plans.

We are a grassroots organization dependent on our community members willingness to connect, support and take action. We use word of mouth and social media to communicate meetings and activities. Our members are our strength. We have successfully provided leadership and direction on many community projects.
