Holiday Newsletter 2022

The Month of December, 2022

“it’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.”

~Mother Theresa

To our supporters,

As the year 2022 comes to an end, we reflect on the challenges we’ve overcome to continue to be of service to the community and we are grateful to our Creator for blessing us with an abundance of faith, hope and courage.

We reflect on the impact that we’ve made in the lives of many individuals and families, and we thank our donors, sponsors, and community members who continue to support the work we do.

We are grateful to our staff for their dedication and hard work. Our community is a better place because of the work they do. Their empathy, humility, honesty, integrity, and kindness carries a message of hope amongst our community.

We are also grateful to our board of directors who devote their time to make sure our organization continues to be a beacon in our community.

When a person in need comes through our casita we help with their most immediate needs and then we connect them and their family to the many other additional resources we provide. This giving season I ask you to give from your heart and help us continue to bring services that provide stability and hope to people’s lives.

Warm regards,

Edith Quiroz

Executive Director

End Of Year Campaign

Our end of year campaign is being lunched this month. Unfortunately, many of our services continue to need additional funding to better serve our community. This is where our donors play a big role and make a difference with every donation. Our end of year giving campaign helps us raise funds to advance our efforts by funding and expanding services not funded by contracts, but crucial to our community.
