Announcing our 2021 Community Awards Honorees

The purpose of LISC's Annual Community Awards is to bring us all together to honor excellence in the community development sector. This year we may not be asking you to dress up and get in line for the breakfast buffet, but we still have plenty to celebrate. The 2021 awardees provide stable housing for families recovering from domestic violence, help women transitioning out of the prison system start the next chapter of their lives, advocate for residents and small businesses in their communities and provide nutritious food during the pandemic. We will be sharing their inspiring stories over the coming weeks. (Be the first to know by following us on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.) We encourage you to join in the celebration by sharing as many as you can personally or through your company's social media to help us celebrate the work of our awardees. 

Congratulations to our honorees
