Thanks to you we were able to serve just under 10,000 individuals this past year. That’s enough people to fill the historic Fox Theatre TWICE!

Looking back on all you have done for your community gives me hope for what we can continue to do together.

Your support meant meant that CJ got the resources and support he needed to recover. After decades of alcohol controlling his every thought, CJ found help and is celebrating his one-year sobriety anniversary.

It’s because of you that this year CJ’s kids will finally have their dad back for the holidays.
