Impact Report
How you helped Christian Neighbors impact the Alamo, Cooper, Martin, Otsego, and Plainwell Communities
12 Month Summary Year End Impact
Strength in Numbers
$128,000 Worth of Food Donated
One of the strengths of Christian is the many Neighbors collaborative partners we have to help our clients. These partnerships have been built over years of serving, and through relationships that our staff have diligently built.
In addition to serving families and individuals curbside at our pantry, we also delivered to shut-ins, the homeless in motels, and those at home with COVID. Thank you for helping us feed our neighbors in need.
Because of this, through our grant dollars, private donations and our collaborative partners we provided over $222,000 in housing stabilization funds in 2021. This support kept lights on, heat in homes, prevented homelessness and housed families who were homeless.
Emergency Financial Assistance $222,103
In addition, our case managers provided help with filling out home-heating and rent credits, getting IDs for individuals, and helping to address other barriers that prevent people from stability.
Thank you for helping us in our mission everyday.
