The organization works with thousands of individuals every year, regardless of religious affiliation, including the poor, the elderly, refugees, developmentally disabled and families, to name a few. I've volunteered at the organization with my family for over 30 years and it is an honor to serve as the current board president. – J. Michael Grenon, CIMA, Board President
