What’s next: Giving Tuesday is happening on November 29th!
Every year, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is known as Giving Tuesday. This Global Day of Generosity is a wonderful opportunity to show your favorite nonprofits that you care about their work. You can support them in many ways, such as donating, volunteering, spreading the news, and even simply liking and sharing their posts on social media. You can help support Alpha today and together we can achieve our mission of enabling those we support to live their best lives possible!

What’s happened: Thank You!
Giving Through Song 2022 was a success!
Thank you so much for everyone who attended GTS 2022 last Saturday! We are so grateful for the generosity from the guests that attended our first in-person event since 2019. Thank you to the sponsors, board members, staff and volunteers that made it possible. From the heartfelt story that Alpha client – Bella and her family told of her journey to living independently – to the outpouring of support of all that attended. Thank You! So many of you got in the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and made the night even more special. Check out the fun photobooth pics here https://alphasls.ejoinme.org/photos
If you didn’t have the opportunity to attend, you can still help us reach our goal of $100,000! Click her to contribute to the important work Alpha does for our community. https://alphasls.ejoinme.org/donate
