Growing Stronger Through Giving

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented year in 2020. With no time to prepare, charities were required to adapt to a fluid and uncertain landscape, including a battered economy and restrictions on in-person gatherings that hampered the ability to raise funds. Against this backdrop, the people who rely on charitable organizations needed them more than ever. Inspired by Sasser employees, Change For The Better continued supporting new and existing charitable partners—as it has since 2015.
