Moving Forward Campaign
Relocating. Collaborating. Expanding Services.
Sandy Schoolfield and Jon Kechejian generously donated a $25,000 lead gift for the relocation and expansion of New Beginnings’ new, south county collaborative center. Will you join Jon and Sandy in helping us raise $250,000 to centralize our in-person programs and supportive services in one, welcoming location?
