WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR OUR PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY, WHOSE GENEROSITY ALLOWED US TO PROVIDE $283,668 IN FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR 912 HOUSEHOLDS. WORKING WITH ALL LOCAL UTILITY COMPANIES, WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE LIGHTS LIT, WATER FLOWING, AND HEAT ON.PART OF ACTS MISSION IS TO CREATE A SENSE OF SELF-SUFFICIENCY WITH ALL OUR PROGRAMS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WITH THE EMERGENCY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WE OFFER OUR CLIENTS. OUR CASE MANAGERS WORK WITH THEM ON CREATING BUDGETS AND MANAGING THEIR EXPENSES, SO THAT NECESSITIES, SUCH AS FOOD (WHICH WE CAN PROVIDE FOR THEM), RENT, AND OTHERS COME FIRST.

WE RESPONDED TO 19,461 CRISIS CALLS THIS YEAR, INCLUDING CALLERS REACHING OUT IN DISTRESS OVER COVID. FORTUNATELY, THE NUMBER OF SUICIDE-RELATED CALLS HAS CONTINUED TO DROP TO 4,074 THIS YEAR. WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO REACH OUT AND PROVIDE A TOTAL OF 8,976 WELLNESS CALLS TO 526 ISOLATED SENIORS. WITH THE LETHALITY ASSESSMENT PROTOCOL (LAP) PROGRAM FULLY IMPLEMENTED, OUR DV TEAM WORKED WITH 3,467 VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. BEING ABLE TO TALK WITH HIGH-RISK VICTIMS WHILE THE RESPONDING POLICE OFFICER IS ON-SCENE HAS PROVEN TO BE EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL, BUT IT HAS ALSO INCREASED THE WORKLOAD OF OUR STAFF.

THRIFT STORE - IN FY20, ACTS CONTINUED TO GROW ITS OPERATIONS AND OUTREACH TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEED INSPITE OF THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC. THE ACTS THRIFT STORE IS THE ONLY NOT-FOR-PROFIT THRIFT STORE IN THE REGION REINVESTING ALL PROCEEDS BACK INTO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
