Last month Brad, Don, & Alison traveled to Tallaha Last month Brad, Don, & Alison traveled to Tallahassee to meet with state leaders at the Capitol to share exciting updates on what’s ahead for our community. They spent time advocating for two important projects; the new Community Center and the Selby Preschool expansion. Both designed to increase access, inclusion, and support for the individuals and families we serve. We are grateful for the opportunity to have these important conversations and to continue moving meaningful projects forward for our community!
