Spotlights on Staff!

Each staff member who serves in our programs is fundamental to the success of all the work our ministry supports, as well as the children, families, and community members who benefit from this critical work. It is our pleasure to spotlight some of these phenomenal individuals! Scroll down to see photos of some amazing staff members!
