Welcome from our CEO, Adelia thompson

Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Peninsula Perspective, a new quarterly piece intended to accomplish a handful of things:

• Answer questions about who we are and what we do, and why – hopefully prompting you to want to explore how we might make a difference for you, your family, or organizations you champion
• Share stories about our partners.  They are the living litmus tests of whether we are living-into our 

promise of what we are here to do: serve those who serve our neighbors.

• Offer information that we believe is timely, helpful and relevant for our community, as we navigate how to care for our neighbors in ever-changing economic, political, and environmental seasons
• Give you updates on PCF programs that unfold each year and remind you of upcoming events
•  Make it easy for you to join us in serving those who serve our neighbors remind you of the many ways you can become our partner: ​
  • Create a fund that helps you support those causes closest to your heart;
  • Find out which organizations in the community do the work you care most about and get connected with them; 
  • Join us through one of our programs – Give Local 757, Impact 100, The Children’s Holiday Fund, and the Center for Community Research.

We are here to help our many partners – nonprofits, businesses, individuals, families, educational institutions, churches, governments – stay informed about the deep needs across our community among all people, and all God’s creatures great and small…support the heroic work already under way every day to meet those needs, and explore new paths forward in that work by connecting those in need with resources that can change lives. 

And most of all, we hope this new “newsletter” will elicit MORE questions!  Whether you are a well-established nonprofit on the Peninsula, or a family who just moved to Hampton Roads seeking to connect with a community of service, we hope this newsletter will inspire you to reach out to us - an email, website visit, text or a good old-fashioned phone call all work just fine!  It is our great privilege to serve you, and serve our neighbors et the stage by telling the reader what the main topic is. Your main story should be at the top of the email with a CTA button that links to a corresponding web page or blog post. Don’t include the entire story in your email.
