In the season 3 premiere of Giving Done Right, La Colaborativa Executive Director Gladys Vega talks with hosts Phil Buchanan and Grace Nicolette about our community, the pandemic, and what it truly means to have “boots on the ground.” She discusses La Colaborativa’s unique approach to providing direct services and advocacy, showing how lasting impact requires both. She revisits both the most difficult moments of the pandemic and the positive changes that emerged. And – with deep gratitude to all of you who have sustained our work over the years – she offers an invitation to come see us in Chelsea!
