2023 Annual Impact Report
During the past year we were proud to help support almost twice as many children and families as the year before, including over $7 million in childcare vouchers for 1,902 children; almost $1 million in direct stipends to child care providers; close to 44,000 hours of disability services; and providing 100 children and their families with behavioral health care. Whether it was coming out of a worldwide pandemic or rebuilding after the destruction of the 2022 earthquake, the past year challenged us as an agency to step forward and step into being the best neighbors we possibly could be. And being a good neighbor is something we are very proud to be.
