The organization made substantial progress in providing essential resources and services to residents, directly impacting the lives of many individuals and families in need.
Key Achievements in Community Support
Throughout the year, the Clubhouse distributed vital relief supplies, including heaters, generators, basic necessities, and clean water, to local community members.

The Storm Repair Assistance Program emerged as a key initiative, assisting 79 households in their recovery and rebuilding efforts following severe storms. This program provided much-needed aid to families grappling with the aftermath of natural disasters.
The Caring Cupboard Food Pantry also made a significant impact, serving individuals 1,183 times between July and December, which directly supported 483 families facing food insecurity. Monthly food distributions resulted in the provision of over 1,200 food boxes to local residents, while the Hot Meal Thursdays initiative delivered more than 2,000 meals throughout the year.
In addition to these ongoing efforts, the annual Thanksgiving Feast attracted over 300 attendees, fostering a sense of community and gratitude. A special Veterans Appreciation event honored 22 veterans and their spouses, recognizing their dedicated service to the country.
New Programs and Future Goals
As the year came to a close, the Annual Christmas House event welcomed the largest and most diverse crowd in its history, further emphasizing the Clubhouse’s role as a community hub. The year also saw the successful completion of five home repair projects through the newly launched Home Repair Assistance Program. This program included the donation of a camper to a community member in need, reflecting the Clubhouse’s commitment to addressing various aspects of community welfare.
