AHS created the Access to Resources Fund to help ensure all organizations can participate in the Alliance. Breaking down silos and creating access is a critical aspect of our work. Email Lisa Pugliese at director@allianceforhs.org if you are an organization interested in joining but cannot afford the full membership amount.

The Alliance community is grateful to our donors that make this stipend possible. Please consider making a donation to ensure all organizations can access the essential services the Alliance provides and to strengthen the Lake County safety net.
