Catalyst Cafe

Some birthdays make you think about the future. This is one of them.

As we mark another United Way anniversary, we're choosing to celebrate by looking forward and by inviting the partners, donors, and civic leaders who share our belief that a stronger region is built one bold conversation at a time.

Join us for a series bringing our community together to confront the challenges that matter most in our region. Each event in this series will cover one of our region's pressing needs, pairing expert voices with community dialogue to move from awareness to action.

On April 15th, we open the series with one of the most urgent issues we face: older adult homelessness.

You'll hear about a bold regional effort to move older adults from crisis to stable housing and join a conversation about what it truly takes to turn hope into lasting change for our most vulnerable neighbors.
