Organizations You Can Support and Get Involved in

Many members of the community frequently inquire about ways to get involved both in our neighborhoods and in issues that affect communities and people across the country. In light of this, I’ve created a list of organizations and groups that anyone can get involved with and support. This list will grow as members of the community reach out to my office with ideas for additions. I hope you not only find this resource helpful, but also share it with friends and family who are similarly inclined to give back and take action.
