Last Thursday, the Options team attended the Chamber of Commerce Holiday Mixer at the Delta. It was a great evening connecting with local businesses and community partners. We also enjoyed seeing Sherry from The Workroom, who is also a member of our Board.

Thank you to the Chamber for hosting a festive and welcoming event!

The cost of living has amplified barriers for the community we serve. There are so many people struggling with the basics of life right now: food, heat, clothing. Each year, our Board of Directors distributes gift cards before the holidays. This can help with getting by in a challenging time.

This year, we are trying to raise additional funds for a few individuals that are in need of essentials. They need help paying for rent, phone, heating costs, and food. The essential needs that all humans deserve. Everyone deserves access to safety, warmth, food, and shelter.

Hire Potential is an employment program, but the path to employment is often lined with many barriers, especially for those who are struggling with financial hardship.

If you are able to give back to your community, we will issue tax receipts and ensure all funds raised go directly to the individuals that need it the most.

Thank you for your generosity.
