Translating The Work

Event season is upon us, and yes that means the Development and Communications departments are running full steam ahead, but it also means it is a time to reflect on the year past and the coming year and share with constituents the amazing things their support has made possible.

We are introducing a new Executive Director, we are celebrating St. Anthony’s 60th anniversary in just a few months, and every day there are amazing stories of gratitude shared among guests and volunteers.  What has been a challenging few years for everyone has been exceptionally hard on the poor and low-income folks who come to St. Anthony Foundation. Yet the work continues, the community continues to grow, and all hands have pulled together to ensure we are here for those who need us most.

In a climate like this, one might not necessarily expect gratitude or celebration.  However, we see it every day. Small steps toward stability from the outside eye may not seem like such large milestones, but when the obstacles overcome are so momentous, so are the celebrations.

Now it’s time for us to put our thinking caps on and find the best way possible to share those moments of gratitude, of life-changing connections made, and community built that happen every day at St. Anthony’s.
