A Season of Gratitude

As we enter the holiday season, we are so thankful for the wonderful people we serve, their families, our caring, hard-working staff, and everyone who supports Opportunity Partners.

To reflect on gratitude at OP, we asked people we serve to let us know what they are thankful for. Here are some of their responses! (some posts were edited for length and clarity).
