Purple with a purpose! 💜

Today, JMCC staff wore purple for Dress Purple Day, a reminder that we all have a role in helping children, youth and families feel safe, supported and connected.

Every family needs support sometimes. By listening with compassion, offering encouragement and helping families find the resources they need, we can build a more caring community together.
