We listen to the story and needs of each person so that they know they are seen, heard and valued in a world where they may often feel invisible.
• People :  Respecting the inherent worth and dignity of every person, we approach all with justice, equity, and understanding, honoring the lives, ideas, and concerns of those we serve, valuing donors' gifts, and cherishing volunteers while ensuring positive and impactful experiences in support of our cause.
