We understand that our Alabama communities face constantly changing and complex challenges — poverty, hunger, health disparities, and more.
Providing comprehensive and lasting solutions for these challenges is oftentimes beyond the scope of individual helping agencies (charitable and human services organizations) with limited staff and resources. Also, most agencies in our communities are disconnected and don't talk to each other — fostering fragmented care, needless duplication of efforts, and isolated minimal impact.
Unfortunately, gaps in communication and cooperation among our helping agencies punch wide gaping holes in our social safety net (service delivery systems). This causes many individuals and families to "fall through the cracks" and not find vital information and available resources that can help to transform their lives.
"There are no limits to what a community can do...if it wants to."
We realize that what we do today, impacts how well our children (and grandchildren) handle their world tomorrow.
We believe community impact solutions, like CharityTracker, Care Networking, and Community Resource Directory, hold great promise for helping us advance a more networked, collaborative, and comprehensive approach to transforming lives and communities here in North Alabama.
