FROM OUR CEO
The 2022-2023 Impact Report reflects what I see every day – our commitment to helping lift people out of crisis by providing essentials like food, clothing, shelter and healing support.
Our Good Works aren't just about addressing immediate needs; they’re about laying the foundation for a brighter tomorrow. Providing pathways out of homelessness and poverty is both our mission and our track record.
I note that our 2022–2023 Impact Report is called 'Change Needs You' and that’s because it’s true. Positive change needs everyone one of us to be on board.
