Last year, thousands of our neighbors walked through our doors carrying worry, exhaustion, and the weight of not knowing how they would get through the week. Because of you, they left with groceries, stability, and a renewed sense of hope.
You Fed Families in Their Hardest Moments
Parents who weren’t sure how to stretch one more meal found shelves full of fresh food waiting for them. Together, we distributed 938,343 pounds of food — more than $1.8 million in nourishment for families.
For many, this wasn’t just food. It was relief.
You Helped Families Rebuild Stability
From warm coats to holiday gifts to the simple dignity of a birthday celebration, your generosity touched lives in big and small ways:
- Clothing, household goods, children’s items, and gift cards
- Making Christmas and birthday surprises for nearly 2,000 children
In all, you provided $2.58 million in essential in-kind support — a lifeline for families working to regain their footing.
You Kept Families Housed and Safe
When neighbors faced eviction notices or utility shutoffs, you stepped in.
- 329 households received rent assistance
- 352 households kept their lights and heat on
- 82 families had a safe place to sleep through emergency lodging
Your compassion delivered $445,845 in critical financial assistance, preventing homelessness and providing stability when it mattered most.
Our Volunteers Stood Behind Every Moment
And behind every moment of support were volunteers and staff who showed up with open hearts — 50,600 volunteer hours, the equivalent of 24 full-time team members, all fueled by your generosity.
Thank You for Changing Lives
Your support created over $3 million in total assistance this year. But the full impact can’t be measured in dollars or pounds of food. It lives in every parent who slept easier, every senior who felt seen, every child who got to celebrate their birthday, and every neighbor who realized they weren’t facing hardship alone.
Because of you, hope was not just offered, it was delivered.
