A PLACE OF MIRACLES
Since 1986, we have been a “place of miracles,” supporting hardworking families struggling to afford basic needs despite low-paying jobs. We provide food, clothing, and essential services designed to help families move from dependency to interdependency, always guided by our motto: “compassion, not judgment.”
A YEAR OF IMPACT & GROWTH
In 2024, our collective efforts impacted lives through various programs and initiatives:
886 individuals were housed in 268 homes, including 31 new families. In addition, we invested $742,659 in housing rehabilitation projects. 31,479 bags of food, totaling 377,748 pounds, were distributed, marking a 25% increase in food visits compared to 2023. 1,685 households, reaching 4,707 members in our database, were served, with an added 10% of new families joining our program.
