It takes all of us working together with shared purpose to build the just, healthy, and equitable world we envision. No matter how you’ve joined in this work over the past year, thanks for walking with Solid Ground and for shining your light among our many partners.

In 2022, folks joined us for powerful events highlighting solutions to some of our region’s most challenging issues. In March, our Building Community Event focused on Opening Doors to Opportunity. Then throughout the  year, our Social Justice Salons series brought together community members with Solid Ground staff, participants, partners, and leaders for intimate, in-person conversations, including:

• 

  Panelists at November’s Social Justice Salon, Untangling the Safety Net

  Addressing Our Community’s Homelessness Crisis

• Interrupting Generational Poverty Through Youth Development
• Untangling the Safety Net

We’ll share more about topics coming up in 2023 – but for now, we want to offer deep gratitude to the companies and organizations who supported these events. Their sponsorship and in-kind giving fueled our ability to convene these powerful conversations, and funded direct service programs that support community members to thrive.

We’d also like to thank the companies whose in-kind donations went to Solid Ground program participants in 2022, as well as social justice-minded small businesses that held fundraisers to support our work.
