Art from the Heart

Art from the Heart provides an outlet for creative expression for people with disabilities and other barriers to employment in a supportive and judgment-free environment. Participants can discover and strengthen their artistic talents while building connections with other artists in our community.

Veteran Services

Veterans transitioning from military to civilian life can face significant barriers that impede workforce success. Funding supports a dedicated staff member who leads a supportive program through peer groups for Veteran employees (including a group for women Veterans), emergency financial assistance, resources for housing insecurity and more.
