Approximately 250 individuals have been supported by The Village this past year!
The Impact
Stories of Impact from The Village
“The Village has helped me and my family by being able to provide meals when times were tough, clothes and necessities for when my family and I needed it. They were an amazing help during the Christmas season for our children when we weren’t able to give it to them. A big shout out to the staff for being so polite, kind, and giving. If I could recommend this to anyone, The Village is the place to go when you’re in need. Thank you and keep up the good work!”
“The Village has been a great source of help to my family and I. They have connected us with everything we’ve needed as far as food, baby diapers, wipes, and hygiene stuff for ourselves and our home.They treat us with the most love. If it wasn’t for them I’m not sure what I would do, they really help families in need! With that being said I give them a big great thanks to all the staff and faculty for all their support.”
“My name is Zendra, provider for a family of 4, and the services I have received from The Village have truly been a godsend in these uncertain economic times. With the utmost sincerity I can wholeheartedly say I don’t know what I would have done without them.”
