“Our region is filled with compassionate community members eager and willing to support those among us in need. Yet, like most communities, we’ve tried to provide this kind of support and care from organizational, institutional or individual silos. We see now, the impacts of that approach are less than desirable for those we seek to support and also for our community at large.
