When people feel connected and cared for it not only affects them, but they can and do pay it forward.

 

Together we can make a difference!

Imagine a world where every single person knows that they have a group of people that really care about them! We invite children, youth, adults and elders in our region to Be the One for others and to share stories about the people in their lives who have inspired them and made a difference.
