Advocates for compassion, empathy and understanding within the community and from those businesses and organizations that are a part of its infrastructure.
The Purple Bench initiative was formed to challenge the community to engage in compassionate practices despite different backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, and views. In a world divided by polarizing opinions, it is increasingly important to find common ground to help those in need.
We are so grateful to these individuals and groups who have supported the Purple Bench initiative.
