Through CRISTA Senior Living, 665 residents were served, and $211,361 was provided to assist low-income residents to remain in their homes. The Nursing Center provided 924 days of care for Medicaid recipients (note: Nursing Center closed as of 08/12/2020), and Crista Shores Assisted Living Facility provided 4317 days of care for Medicaid recipients through their respective contracts with DSHS. Residents, family members, staff and other individuals volunteered approximately 1400 hours assisting other residents. Senior residents operate a missionary commission which support faith-based volunteers around the world. Given the pandemic restrictions, we were unable to host community service and faith-based meetings in our facilities. Approximately one acre of our Crista Shores property is made available as publicly accessible wetlands and interpretive trails highlighting the Dyes Inlet ecosystem.

World Concern partners to transform the lives of poor and marginalized people through disaster response and sustainable community development.

In the past year, World Concern was active in 13 countries, supporting those who are left out of the main stream of humanitarian aid because of their location, ethnic background or societal power. The organization served 2,647,662 individuals through program services including livelihoods, child protection, disaster response & risk reduction, water & sanitation, non-clinical health and economic development.
