OUR COMMUNITY, OUR WORK.
It’s been quite a year for the world. And while things have not gone necessarily the way we thought they would, we still can reflect back on a year that we courageously served our neighbors. We have had another successful year, thanks to you! Overall in 2020, we created 3 new programs to serve neighbors in need, and succeed in helping 4,000+ neighbors with minor repairs, grocery deliveries, Christmas gifts and more! And together, we put $400,000 back into Ventura County in goods and services!
PROJECTS THAT CONNECT AND HEAL: NOW AND ACCESSIBILITY
200 volunteers served with us consistently during the pandemic, bringing groceries, care packages and virtual companionship to homebound neighbors, Our accessibility team also kept busy, completing 18 grab bar and ramp installations for those with mobility challenges!
PROJECTS THAT EMPOWER OUR COMMUNITIES: LOVE VC
In June, hundreds of volunteers loved Ventura County by donating 60+ bags of diapers, bed sheets and children’s books for local women’s shelters, making 300+ cards for seniors and graduates, and walking 250 miles for local charities! 300 neighbors in need were impacted by Love VC projects!
PROJECTS THAT BRING HOPE: COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS SHOPPE
In December, we hosted five Community Christmas Shoppes in Ventura County to help 1,000+ under-resourced families provide Christmas gifts for their children. An overwhelming 10,000 gifts were donated and 4,000 kids were shopped for! 400+ individuals received prayer and support from volunteers.
