2024 Annual Report
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we reflect on 2024, we see God’s faithfulness despite challenges. The year began with leadership changes and financial setbacks, but through wise stewardship and your support, we regained stability and exceeded last year’s revenue. While early expenses created a loss, we finished with funds in the bank and a strong vision for 2025.
Looking ahead, we plan to expand both outreach and residential programs. We aim to add a second mobile outreach vehicle or food truck and increase capacity in our CORE and RISE programs to 12 beds. We also continue praying about a second facility. Every ministry area grew—giving, clothing, food, meals—and now, we seek sustainable support to continue serving abundantly. Thank you for standing with us in this mission—your generosity makes a real impact.
With gratitude,
Jim Copeland
