Forvis Mazars US is making a significant impact this week by offering numerous volunteer opportunities to its employees! Volunteers lent a hand at MOTHER'S REFUGE, an Impact 100 organization that provides a safe home for pregnant and parenting young moms and babies that do not have a stable or permanent place to live. Through their Transitional Living Program, pregnant and parenting young moms are provided with a safe and secure apartment, offering stability for young families to learn budgeting, life skills, and practice parenting in a safe environment. In 2023 alone, they provided over 11,000 overnight stays. Witnessing our corporate partners support our partner organizations is truly remarkable. Thank you to both Forvis and Mother's Refuge for making our community stronger, together! #KansasCity #Waymakers #UnitedWay
