OUR COMMITMENT
To provide equitable and consistent care to all families and volunteers that participate in our event.
-
We do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, disability, religion, political affiliation, family, military, or marital status.
-
We welcome families with limited English proficiency and have both translated materials and volunteers proficient in other languages to serve them.
-
Although we are affiliated with a church, we do not proselytize or take any actions that could create a barrier to serving families.
