Over the course of almost five years, I have led this organization through an international disaster where I kept us open and serving the community. As of June 2023, programming has tripled, income has doubled, we've added, and paid cash for a new walk-in center, we've more than tripled the meals served, added new six housing units, and increased # of people served by several hundred. The current staff is best in class and we enjoy an outstanding reputation.
