Your support helps us expand access to meaningful programs and build more resilience and community. That's part of the PWR! difference, and we couldn't do it without you! Our goal is to raise $175,000 by the end of the year, and in honor of our 15th year, a generous donor has stepped up with a $15,000 matching gift, meaning every dollar you give will be doubled - up to $15,000. Consider a gift today at www.pwr4life.org/about/donation.
