Dear Friends,
We're celebrating our first year of service at our Food Club & Opportunity Hub! Last October, our community stepped up with us to reimagine our services, finding a better way, together. And what a year it's been! We're so excited to share our Food Club 1 Year Impact Report with you.
Inside, you'll see how rapidly we've been able to expand our services - critical for so many, as inflation pushes more families past their financial breaking point. You'll see evidence of how we're shifting diets to healthier patterns. You'll see how our service goes beyond just food, providing onsite resources, individual counsel, and financial wellness programs that help our guests chart a course forward.
But just as importantly to us, you'll read about how much our guests themselves value their membership. It means so much to them to access the support they need in an environment that recognizes their dignity & worth - a community that believes in them and their potential. You’ll read about life-altering financial changes, health improvements, and moments of joy - stories that are only possible because people like you say ‘yes’ to building a stronger network of support for the neighbors who need it most.
This is just year one, and already our community is so much stronger because of all we've chosen to do together. We're going to keep leaning into our programming, and are working to further strengthen and build upon this amazing foundation. On behalf of our team and our guests, thank you for being a critical part of our journey. It takes a community, working together, to make sure that none of our neighbors have to face their challenges alone. We hope you’ll continue to partner with us for the months and years to come!
Sincerely,
Scott Rumpsa
CEO
