NEK Prosper! Celebrates Pride Month
NEK Prosper! envisions a community where everyone is Financially Secure, Mentally Healthy, Physically Healthy, Well Housed & Well Nourished
We know that due to stigma, marginalization and systemic inequalities, not everyone in Caledonia and Southern Essex Counties (including our LGBTQ+ family, friends and neighbors) has fair and just opportunity to prosper.
We can make a difference together.

We recognize that colonialism, racism and the oppression of Native peoples is an ongoing process. We commit to building our awareness of our present participation.
