Like many things in a COVID world, the arts has taken a hit and in some cases, programming has been eliminated altogether creating a cultural void that may never be filled without help. In response and as a way to give back, National Life is proud to recognize these local organizations for the impact they make. We encourage you to check out their missions and consider supporting them either through your time, donations or in some cases, purchases of products or services. They may also be a great match to Share the Good if you are looking for suggestions.
