2021 END OF YEAR CAMPAIGN: THANK YOU

On behalf of the Board of Directors, Advocate Council, volunteers, students, and staff of Aspire, thank you for your support during the end-of-year campaign. The donations we receive from our passionate supporters are an invaluable tool that keeps Aspire on a solid foundation. With the help you have provided, we can continue to offer families the keys to more stable, safe, and financially sound lives. From learning English or earning a GED, to balancing a family bank account or preparing for careers, our students can face these challenges with confidence knowing you are there to support the mission.

The events of the past two years have created a greater need for the services Aspire offers to families in need.
