Impact By The Numbers

Every number presented below is more than a number. Each digit is a local child, adult or senior impacted by your generosity during a tough year. Thank you!

"I was out of work for two weeks and have no sick leave. Thank you for helping my son and I by paying my rent. I didn’t know what I was going to do!"

– One of the 16,000 hard-working families in Kootenai County who live paycheck to paycheck

"I wanted to acknowledge the amazing blessing it was for my son to participate in Clothe a Child. We mostly do alright, but things get tight often. It’s things like this that remind me that God is our provider and He is so faithful. My son was so happy and his face lit up when he showed me the clothing that he had chosen. Thank you, thank you, it means SO much."

– One of 200+ grateful moms, dads and grandparents whose children received $150 worth of new winter gear.

Projects of Impact

• 2021 was a year of tragedy. The Kroc ministry team stretched to host funerals, make end-of-life visits, and offer spiritual support to 7,100 grieving individuals, many without a home church.

• The Well on Thursday nights is transforming lives. Fifty families (kids too!) received free life skills training, fellowship, group exercise, and access to medical professionals.

• Pathway of Hope was launched, guiding families on how to exit poverty. Twelve months of wrap-around services included weekly mentoring, GED support, budget accountability, rental assistance, childcare and children’s activities, and lots of prayer and encouragement.

"I have learned so much by coming to The Well. It has been uplifting for me at a difficult time, made me more social and allowed me to exercise effectively. You have kept me sober and helped me stay busy and healthy."
