As we turned the page on another year, we found ourselves reflecting on where we've been. It's been a whirlwind of growth, challenges, and triumphs, each moment a step closer to our shared vision of a community where everyone is thriving.
2023 was packed with stories of resilience, hope, and the power of coming together, and we're excited to share these highlights with you through our latest Impact Report.
Empowering the Next Generation
Last year our Youth Development Program was a vibrant hub of activity and learning, touching the lives of dozens of young people. From the laughter-filled rooms of our Summer Enrichment Program to the focused intensity of our STEM sessions, we’ve seen our kids flourish. And it’s not just the kids who’ve grown and matured, our staff has too, coming together in remarkable ways to support every child in our program.
Launching Dreams Through Our New Preschool
One of the stories we continue to celebrate was the launch of our Preschool Program, in partnership with the Christina School District. Helping our little ones reach their potential is a privilege, and adding a preschool option to our Early Learning Center means more children and their families get the care and support they need.
Building Stronger Communities
Our Family Services Program was busy, serving more than two thousand people in 2023. Not only did we distribute thousands of pounds of food, but thanks to the generosity of our donors and community partners, the holidays were a little brighter for hundreds of families experiencing financial hardship.
The reach of our Comprehensive Housing Counseling Program continues to grow. We served 494 clients last year, helping them navigate the path to homeownership and financial stability. The success stories here are significant, because they represent dreams realized and futures secured.
