These initiatives address a wide range of issues, including food and housing insecurity, national and global emergency relief, wraparound services for women and children, and partnerships with leading scientists and NGOs to address global health initiatives. This includes a frontline approach to combatting the harmful effects of environmental issues such as breathing dirty air.
