THE NUMBERS:

How Many Are We Really Helping?

With the work we do, it is very difficult to provide “absolute” numbers. After some detailed research, and review of previous tax filings, this is an accurate snapshot of a year of outreach. The numbers are staggering. For every one person we can help, there are a dozen more waiting for assistance.

From our 2 Blessings Boxes, at a conservative estimate of 5 visitors per box per day, we provide supplemental nutrition for at least 3,650 of our food insecure friends per year.

Over 200 of the area homeless per year are given shower passes to a local facility.

Over 100 clients per year are given gas assistance (we meet the client at the gas station, fill up, and pay, or provide then with a gas gift card)

Over 100 clients per year are given assistance with transit passes to travel back and forth to work, as well as from shelter to shelter in the winter months.

An average of 6 clients per year who choose to go to detox or rehab are given new clothing, shoes, and personal items.

Over 30 motel stays per year are provided during times of extreme cold or heat for clients with medical conditions that are worsened by extreme temperatures.

Over 600 per year receive a hot meal through our Pending Meal program in partnership with a local restaurant.

Hundreds per year who live on the streets receive well-being checks, basic first aid, meals, and compassion.

Almost Home provides assistance with food, utilities, homelessness prevention, and many other items for an additional 75 to 100 individuals and families experiencing true and significant hardship per year.

For every one person we can help, there are a dozen more waiting for assistance. Please visit our “Donate Today” tab to see how you can help. Because everyone needs help sometimes.
