We don’t love reducing a year of actual people doing actual work down to a handful of numbers — but the numbers are still worth sharing, because they’re the clearest way to show what all those Tuesday nights and Saturday mornings added up to.
Across our four programs, volunteers logged just over fourteen thousand hours last year. Our food relief network delivered its way past 40,000 meals. Ninety-one local crews were active at some point during the year, up from sixty the year before. And our very newest program, the Emergency Support Crew, ran its first two real callouts within a month of launching.
None of it happens in a spreadsheet, obviously — it happens on the ground, and the reporting just tells us afterward what we already suspected: that it’s working. Thank you to every single person who showed up this year, especially the ones who did it more than once.
