Jalicia reports serving 900 households, totaling over 3,100 people, with 199 new households included. Nearly $20,000 went to utility and rental aid. In 2024, 846 households, about 3,000 people, received over $20,000 in utility and rental assistance with a few weeks remaining. Christine notes that community donations, especially during Food For The Hungry, help them make things happen. Over 700 kids applied for Christmas Assistance this year.
