Stories of Impact

Supporting local farming with Working Mission

We’re partnering with Working Mission to bring fresh, locally-grown produce to our community. Together, we’re cultivating 15 acres for a farmers’ market set to launch in Spring/Summer 2025. This initiative supports local farmers, nonprofit partners, and local refugees, and also provides our community with access to healthy, sustainable food options.

Small Business and Entrepreneurship Support

We’re launching an Entrepreneurial Certification Course in Spring 2025 to empower aspiring business owners with the skills and knowledge to succeed.
