The people we serve
Behind every program is a person whose life was changed. These are their stories.
I cannot wait to give back to my community and make you and Scott proud of me. I will never forget the kindess you have shown me.
My first year of college was utterly amazing, and it would not have been possible without the generosity of the family of Senior Chief Scott DeCoste.
