Dear Friend,We are truly thankful this season for your partnership with us.
Your support has sustained so many this year who have continued to experience adversity. For each of our 5,000 residents, you have helped them encourage each another, raise healthy families, and have covered them with your care and concern. We give thanks that so many of you are regular, monthly, and annual supporters of our programs and services. To those who came alongside our mission and gave for the first time this year, I am so grateful for you.
Every one of you have helped foster new opportunities, improve lives, and have helped thousands of households thrive. Through support of our 11 learning centers, you have ensured that our youth have bright futures, for our older residents have made supportive services available to everyone. And for those patiently waiting on our housing lists for a place to call their own, you’ve opened up our pipeline so that another 1,000 homes are on the way!
Though it seems so many of us have experienced difficulties this year, for that testing of who we are as a community, we can all give thanks. We have been shown to be partners with positive intentions, strong collaborators, a community with resilience. We have roundly demonstrated that when we pull in a united direction, we are more responsive, more supportive, and more empathetic to those most in need. Though many obstacles remain in the way of resolving disparity and injustice, we are best able to endure and triumph when we all work altogether.
May you all experience a joyous and contemplative holiday, reflecting on the many good fruits we have collectively achieved. Happy Thanksgiving!
Ken Trigueiro, CEO & President
