- Education and Literacy: The organization will provide educational resources and literacy programs to help individuals improve their reading and writing skills.
- Healthcare Access: The organization will work to increase access to healthcare services, including mental health counseling and medical care.
Bergel’s organization is already making waves in the community. In its first month of operation, the organization has received over 50 applications from individuals seeking assistance.
