Dear LEO Community:

With ongoing reductions to the federal workforce, it is reasonable to be unsure if the programs you and your family rely on are still available. LEO is very much open. Early Head Start and Head Start classrooms are bustling, all branches of Community Services (HEAP/Home Energy Assistance, VITA, Rental Assistance, Food Distribution, Homelessness Supports) are up, operating, and providing opportunities for our community to thrive. We are all in, nothing has changed about how we support, educate and care for our community.

If we know more, we will share more, that is our pledge to our clients, families and staff.

Thank you for trusting LEO Inc.

Birgitta S. Damon, CEO
