Sun, smiles and community spirit! ☀️ Our Annual Bridgebuilder BBQ was a blast! Delicious eats, happy faces all around and a whole lot of appreciation for the folks who help make our work possible. We’re so thankful for our Bridgebuilders and their loved ones who joined us for an afternoon of fun and connection.

Nick manages the Healthy Neighborhoods Healthy Families initiative, which focuses on affordable housing, health and wellness, community enrichment, education and economic development.

He has a personal connection that brings a unique element to his work. “I actually spent time at this hospital for the first few weeks after I was born. My mom always reminds me of how well the nurses and doctors took care of me.”

We enjoy working with Nick because of our shared values in serving the community and empowering neighbors who often aren’t heard.

Comment a hello and special message to our client, Nick!
