Dear Bronson Partners,

I don’t have to tell you how tough this year has been. You know it already. You see the effects of COVID-19. You take action to address the unimaginable burdens upon individuals and families throughout our communities. The only way we’ll solve our community’s most pressing issues is by tackling them together. That is why I am especially grateful for the partnership and support of Bronson. Together we can face the biggest challenges head-on: poverty, hunger, homelessness, racial inequities, and yes, pandemics. Together we can lead our region in a next step: Building on the community’s success to help struggling people, especially the hard-working yet low-wage population (often referred to as Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed, or ALICE) recover and rebuild their lives. With your help we will continue to create a more resilient and equitable community. I hope you accept my heartfelt thank you—and an invitation to continue the fight. As our annual campaign begins, I hope you’ll consider a financial gift. With your help, we can do more than ever before.

Sincerely,

Chris Sargent
President & CEO
