Dear Friends,
As we begin 2026, I want to pause and say something that truly matters: thank you. Because of your generosity and trust, individuals and families found stability, access to care, and a path forward during moments when it mattered most. That kind of support doesn’t just feel good — it changes outcomes.
2025 Impact at a Glance-Echos:
• Served 4,964 individuals and 1,587 families through housing stability, benefits access, and basic needs support
• Connected more than 2,400 clients to health coverage or critical public benefits
• Provided 820 emergency interventions to prevent housing loss, utility shutoffs, or loss of care
• Leveraged $304,229.92 in direct financial assistance and community resources for rent, deposits, utilities, transportation and emergency needs
• Distributed close to $50,000 in H‑E‑B food-only gift cards to households facing food insecurity
• Strengthened partnerships with 38 community organizations, including Texas Children’s Hospital Mobile Health Van and Memorial Hermann Maternal Healthcare Van, to expand reach and reduce barriers
One client shared this with us: “For the first time in months, I felt like someone actually knew my situation and helped me find a way forward.”
Looking ahead to 2026, we remain focused and determined. The needs in our community continue to grow, and we are strengthening our systems, partnerships, and responsiveness to meet them — just as we always have.
Thank you for your generous support,
Cathy Moore
Executive Director
