Hope is not just about optimism. It’s not just the belief, it’s embedded in us that we have the capability to be better. #hope #team211 #mormon #LGBTQ @Ch_JesusChrist @UnitedWay @DefiningUs definingus.org/about/podcast…

“There are 1.5 million programs and services in the U.S. — it can be confusing to navigate, especially for those seeking services for the first time. 211 is there to make it easier for people to get what they need. It’s America’s safety net.” — @joped211 #211Briefing

"What I would say to students trying to figure out their own orientation or identity is 'I love you. I care for you. Tell me what you're feeling.' And I would stop, and I would listen." @joped211 @UnitedWay #LeadingWithLove #DefiningUS definingus.org/about/podcast…
#BuildingTrust is important. "But it is very important to know that these are our neighbors that are asking for help. These are the people who cut your hair, wait on you at the restaurant, bag your groceries." @joped211 @UnitedWay #DefiningUS definingus.org/about/podcast…

"For too many people in America, basics like food, housing, healthcare...are scarce. Thanksgiving plans can create anxiety for parents struggling to feed their children." A reminder the season of bounty is not bountiful for all. @joped211 @UnitedWay definingus.org/2782-2/
