February was super busy, and March is off to a strong start! We're nearly done putting in phase 2 fire sprinklers, fixing up the Auditorium for larger workshops, trainings, and job fairs, and making more room for the Bethel Day Shelter. Plus, we've got a fun fundraising event coming up in April. As Spring arrives, we're preparing for the new season and all the changes it brings. We're committed to ensuring safety, security, stability, and support for our on-site partners and individuals facing poverty.


Sparking change, one day at a time!

August's Collective Impact Report

September 15, 2025
Collective Impact in Action August reminded us once again that when we come together with shared purpose, real change happens. Through the dedicated efforts of our on-site partners, eighteen individuals successfully transitioned into independent housing- our highest this year! Each transition represents far more than a change in address—it’s a bold step toward stability, self-sufficiency, and a renewed sense of possibility. And housing is just one piece of the puzzle. But impact is also found in the everyday—the shared meals, the quiet encouragement, the practical skills passed along in our Learning Lab, or the moment someone feels seen and supported. Let’s continue building a community where opportunity is accessible, dignity is upheld, and forward is always possible.

July's Collective Impact Report

August 19, 2025
Reflecting on July: Collective Impact in Action July reminded us once again that when we come together with shared purpose, real change happens. Through the dedicated efforts of our on-site partners, eleven individuals successfully transitioned into independent housing . Each transition represents far more than a change in address—it’s a bold step toward stability, self-sufficiency, and a renewed sense of possibility. And housing is just one piece of the puzzle. In June: 100% of participants achieved goals related to obtaining essential documentation —a critical step on the path to employment, housing applications, and long-term stability. Over 50% of clients working to improve their employment situation made measurable progress , including maintaining current jobs, moving from part-time to full-time, completing job training programs, or securing new employment opportunities. But impact is also found in the everyday—the shared meals, the quiet encouragement, the practical skills passed along in our Learning Lab, or the moment someone feels seen and supported. Let’s continue building a community where opportunity is accessible, dignity is upheld, and forward is always possible.
