An Update from Our Founder & CEO
Toni Brinker
The sacred fabric of America is defined by its people. As Americans, we shine the brightest when patriotism unites us in a common goal to help those who need it the most. Whether it’s the parents of a young family putting their children to bed for the night or someone catching the bus and heading home for dinner, a sense of security coupled with a feeling of community inclusion built on a foundation of trust instills the desire, courage and determination to work hard and pursue the American dream.
As we enter the hot summer months of 2021, let’s remember that ‘we’re all in this together.’ Happy July 4th.
