Mano a Mano Family Center

Dear Friends, 2017 was a difficult year for the families we support. At least twice the number of families needed assistance with basic needs, and crisis assistance than in 2016. We saw few signs of widespread economic improvement. Generally, what we observed is that the most vulnerable became even more vulnerable in 2017. This year was particularly hard and stressful for immigrant families in our area. The most difficult months were the first three months of 2017. Throughout the year we served more than 2,000 families who sought out Mano a Mano. This represents an unduplicated number of more than 7,000 individuals who benefited from your support to Mano a Mano. We are Salem and Keizer
