We’re thrilled to share the highlights from our recent Annual Conference, where we honored the outstanding contributions of individuals and corporations committed to supporting our mission of providing vital services to children, families, and farmworkers. With nearly 300 attendees from diverse backgrounds and locations, the event was a testament to the widespread impact of our work.

Our distinguished guest speaker, The Honorable Rosalind Osgood, Florida State Senator (D-District 32), graced us with her insights gained from over 21 years of nonprofit management experience. Senator Osgood emphasized the urgent need for tangible outcomes and praised Community Action Agencies like ours as essential instruments for positive change. She commended ALPI for its proactive approach, stating that our dedication to making a difference every day sets us apart.

At ALPI, we believe in action over complacency. We understand that there are individuals on the brink of despair, and our commitment to non-judgmental support is unwavering. Our organization is driven by the singular goal of transforming lives, one day at a time.

Please join us for our upcoming 2025 Annual Conference, as we continue our mission to empower communities and effect lasting change. Be part of an inspiring gathering where we celebrate achievements, foster collaboration, and chart the course for future endeavors.  Stay tuned for more information about the conference, including dates, venue details, and registration instructions.
