Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to be the support for our clients so they can attend events that allow them to participate in community events. Many of them have barely enough money to pay for rent and utilities and without us they would not be able to get out of the house and have a life in the community. One of the main requests we have had is that clients have saved money to go on a trip but they don't have transportation and/or the funds for staff to go with them and at this time we don't have the funds to support this kind of request because we are targeting the events that serve the most.

Finding events that support our community or events that our community wants to attend and assist the clients to attend in however we can. Contact Case Managers and Affiliates to assist with getting clients to events

Currently we are limited to local activities; Funding is limited so far but we are hoping to expand our scope

Getting our name out to more agencies and see how we can help or partner. We have expanded our partnership to several other events that has allowed us to assist 3 times as many individuals as last year.
