🌟 Voices of Giving 🌟

Jennifer S. shares her "why":
"Our family's monthly gift supports the birth to three services, one of the most critical times in a child's listening and spoken language development. Federal and state funding alone are not enough to serve our local community and recurring gifts like ours help provide a reliable source of support." (Abbreviated—full version in our weekly email!)

Our mission is rooted in community generosity: 30% of our annual operating costs rely on donations. Our monthly donors, like Jennifer, provide reliable funding that allows us to plan for the future and meet immediate needs.

Will you start a monthly gift this season? When you establish a recurring gift, a long-time supporter adds a one-time $100 donation—strengthening the impact of your support from day one.
