Agencies funded by your contributions

The current 2012 campaign will fund 14 agencies providing local services to our community members in need:
In upcoming days, I will do my best to provide specific information on each of these agencies.  I hope that if you have not yet chosen to make your contribution to the 2012 Campaign you will do so once you learn how your donation no matter how small or how large makes a huge difference to those local community members in need.
