Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Peninsula Perspective, our new quarterly newsletter, intended to accomplish a handful of things:
Answer questions about who we are and what we do, and why – hopefully prompting you to explore how we might make a difference for you and organizations you champion
Share stories about our partners. They are the litmus tests of whether we are living-into our promise of what we are here to do: serve those who serve our neighbors.
Offer information that we believe is timely, helpful and relevant for our community, as we navigate how to care for our neighbors in an ever-changing world.
Give you updates on PCF programs that unfold each year and remind you of upcoming events
Make it easy for you to join us in serving those who serve our neighbors and remind you of the many ways you can become our partner:
Create a fund that helps you support causes closest to your heart;
Find out which organizations in the community do the work you care most about – and get connected with them;
Join us through one of our programs – Give Local 757, Impact 100, The Children’s Holiday Fund, and the Center for Community Research.
We are here to help our many partners – nonprofits, businesses, individuals, families, educational institutions, churches, governments – stay informed about the deep needs across our community and support the heroic work already under way every day to meet those needs - finding new paths forward, connecting those in need with resources that change lives.
Most of all, we hope The Peninsula Perspective will elicit MORE questions! Whether you are a well-established nonprofit on the Peninsula, or a family who just moved to Hampton Roads seeking to connect with a community of service, we hope this newsletter will inspire you to reach out to us - an email, website visit, text or a good old-fashioned phone call all work just fine! It is our great privilege to serve you, and serve those who serve our neighbors.
