Happy New Year! We’re nearly two years into a pandemic and all of us feel the fatigue of disruptions and worry in our daily lives. At the same time, we can celebrate medical innovations, an improving economy and the ways we’re getting together again. This New Year, we are especially grateful for all of you who have supported Irving Cares this past year through gifts of time and money, or by participating in our special events. Our Irving Gala, New Year’s Eve Party, Cares Cup Golf Tournament and other events were successful because of your enthusiasm and support. By partnering together, we were able to help nearly 7,000 people with emergency assistance with food, housing, utilities, transportation, or childcare in 2021. Another 72 families received employment services, financial coaching and support through our Invest In Yourself program.
