• Economic Security and Health – programs/services that strengthen employment/skills training, increase access to health and nutrition, and support local hiring and job creation, particularly for hard to serve and underserved populations, including transitional age foster youth, low income, BIPOC, immigrants, veterans, reentry, disabled, and homeless populations.
• Community Services – public benefit activities focusing on clean and safe communities and neighborhood beautification; programs and services supporting seniors and frail elderly; recreation, arts and culture; and community events that strengthen civic pride, mutual respect, and belonging.
