OUR WORK
Saline Supports our Community is a non-profit founded in 2020 for the purpose of creating awareness of, offering education on, and providing support for: underrepresented, disenfranchised, and marginalized members of our community.
About SSOC
Saline Supports is a movement dedicated to making Saline a place of mirrors and windows – where residents and visitors can see themselves and others in their neighbors, teachers, students, business owners, pastors, representatives and more.
It aims to:
Celebrate the diversity that helps make Saline a wonderful place to live, with an effort towards sustaining and increasing diversity.
Advocate and educate around activities and policies that promote and build an inclusive community.
Empower and increase visibility of disenfranchised and underrepresented communities.
Organize activities that raise awareness of inclusivity issues and create a welcoming environment for everyone.
