It’s actually on our website that this was our previous name! That’s how I found it. I learned a lot too. And they were ADAMANT about describing themselves as an anti-poverty organization. I love that we’ve already realigned in that way.

The photographer Richards Photo is the credited license in almost all of the photos, I’m so curious to see what else is out there. Might be worth a trip to the historical research floor of the main library! Pre-internet documentation of how long we have really been doing this work. Rather than just an anecdote. :)
