We want to take a moment to share gratitude with our community partners for their unwavering support and collaboration. New state leaders and significant changes to the state budget will inevitably shift the landscape in which we work, requiring perseverance and unity. As we step into the new year, let us stay encouraged by the strength and solidarity within our network as we continue to build a stronger community together.
