As we close out 2020, we continue to be impressed by the ingenuity and resilience of our community – pivoting and creating brand new ways of doing things in a year that required it. From going completely virtual to finding ways to make an impact in small groups to making the difficult decision to postpone – our 2020 grant award recipients made an impact on our community this year.
