Three community resource providers recognized the dedication of their employees at a National Employee Appreciation dinner Friday night.

Alliance for Nonprofit Resources, Center for Community Resources, and the Nonprofit Development Corporation gathered at the Tanglewood Center for the first time since 2020 to celebrate growth and connection.

According to Chris Lunn, executive director for the alliance and corporation, the three entities last met two weeks before the COVID-19 lock down.
