Kidz club after school program: kidz club after school program re-started in 2023 with 45 students registered in our tuesday/thursday program. Students are grouped with same grade students and led by consistent volunteers (adult and middle/high school) to support their academic growth as well as their social and emotional learning. We implement the protective factors into our program model and love seeing the children reach for more learning and growth opportunities.

Unhoused outreach was a shift from our previous (pre-covid) drop-in center model and it was so successful throughout the pandemic, it remains its own program now. Three times a week, we load up our van with food, hygiene supplies, clothing and supplies and drive throughout our community to ensure our homeless neighbors are safe and well. Volunteers prepare and fill big grocery bags of healthy, no-cook food and other supplies. Our program director has mobile visits and is able to support many diverse needs such as transportation, phone assistance, shelter, mental health, substance use support and so much more.

Community dinner ran its first full year after re-opening in later 2022. the numbers grew exponentially throughout the year and over 3600 meals were served in 2023 alone.
