Dear Friends,
What an unprecedented and unpredictable year it has been.
Climate change, a global pandemic, racial reckoning in our country and the elections. The impact of this year’s events is far greater than anyone could have anticipated. This has been a challenging year for everyone and I want to thank you for being there for us through these tough times. Our donors and monthly sustainers played a major role in getting us through the past few months, especially when many businesses had to close their doors and pause their support. So, if you’re a contributor, thank you. Really, thank you for keeping us here. Of course, we must add a special thank you to Sacred Heart University who continue to support and value our work.
