David A. Jacobs, J.D. | In Memory and Appreciation

Center for Community Solutions is saddened by the recent loss of Dave Jacobs on December 4, 2024. Dave was a beloved advisory board member, who also served as a board member during crucial growth years for our organization. He was the first male board president, helping to pave the way for an inspiring number of men now supporting our efforts every day. Dave had been a champion of our work since his board service first began in 2006. We were honored to work with such a noble and passionate advocate for survivors and our mission.

Center for Community Solutions is grateful to Dave’s family and other loved ones, who added to his inspiring capacity to help others in our community.
