Ron and Marilynn Grais enjoy our 2012 Annual Meeting on the balcony where Starnica told her story Lynette Barnes presents Phyllis Shadwick with the Fund Manager of the Year Award. Congratulations Phyllis, and thank you! Congratulations to John Pfeiffer on winning the Heart of the Alliance Award - Thank you for your hard work and dedication to ending homelessness! Starnica, with her son Antwon, talked about her experience as a homeless student at our 2012 Annual Meeting. Testifying in front of the U.S. Congress made her feel like she is making a difference. Dr. Jorge Prieto Health Center is an amazing organization that is helping to change our community. Congratulations on winning the 2012 Partner Agency of the Year Award! When Connie was working three jobs and still homeless, she felt powerless. At our Annual Meeting, she explained how her work on the Consumers Commission is empowering her to fight back.

Financial Documents Available

The Emergency Fund works hard to make sure that every dollar donated to us is used efficiently, effectively, and transparently. We appreciate the trust our donors place in us, and believe that with that trust comes a responsibility to be completely open about our financials. That's why, every year, our financial statements are thoroughly audited by an outside firm. It's also why we make the results of those audits available to anyone who wishes to see them.
