Thank You for Having a <strong>Giving</strong> Heart
LETTER FROM THE CEO<br />
For over 10 years, <strong>Path</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Life</strong> has been partnering<br />
with donors like you to rescue, restore, and rebuild the<br />
lives <strong>of</strong> our neighbors without homes across Riverside<br />
County. Your support serves over 1,800 individuals<br />
annually through our Family Shelter, Community<br />
Shelter, Outreach Team, Housing Programs, Behavioral<br />
Health treatment, Employment Pipeline, and Peer<br />
Support.<br />
Unfortunately, the demand for our services continues to rise. The housing crisis in<br />
California is hitting our community hard and we are seeing increasing numbers <strong>of</strong><br />
once stable families slip into the vortex <strong>of</strong> poverty, finding themselves entering<br />
homeless situations. With such limited affordable housing available, these<br />
situations are more difficult to exit than ever.<br />
There is good news: our programs work! Focusing on housing first and supportive<br />
services for the whole individual and the whole family has put our successful<br />
impact rate higher than ever before. You are a part <strong>of</strong> a movement and together<br />
we are doing great things!<br />
We want to show you what your dollar can do and give you the freedom to<br />
direct your funds where you are most passionate. In this giving catalog, you have<br />
control <strong>of</strong> your impact. See what your monthly, quarterly, or annual gift makes<br />
possible and let’s continue partnering to end homelessness in our community.<br />
With gratitude and great hope,<br />
Damien O’Farrell,<br />
President and CEO<br />
