A Word from our President & CEO

The novel coronavirus disease, COVID-19, is creating an evolving situation with varied impact to our programs. As an organization, we expect to face new unique challenges in serving our community in the weeks ahead.  We will update our website to inform you of how we will meet these challenges while keeping our employees and the community we serve safe and healthy. We have begun to share information and resources on our website from credible sources such as DHS and DOH. While we remain open, many of our staff are working from home and are using video conferencing as a way to stay in touch.  As we all practice social distancing to prevent the spread of the virus, we need to be cognizant of its effects on our mental health. The social aspects of our lives, from going to the movies or attending a sporting event, have been upended. So, it’s important to practice self-care during this time. Please take care and stay healthy,

Keith Kuboyama
President & CEO
