2023 Yearend Report!

I am pleased to provide you with Neighborhoods United's comprehensive year-end report for 2023, outlining our impactful initiatives and financial expenditures. Throughout the year, our commitment to community service remained steadfast, leading to another successful period of giving.

In August, we distributed 100 school backpacks to children in need, incurring an expenditure of $903.64. Following this, December saw the distribution of approximately 1200 pairs of socks, winter caps, and gloves to families and homeless individuals. This effort, totaling $339.32 in expenses, was supplemented by a $500 cash donation and additional contributions from community members, surpassing last year's goal of 1100 items.

On April 26, 2023, we purchased four $25 gift cards from King Soopers, providing much-needed grocery support. Responding to a request from the Salvation Army on February 14, 2023, we ordered winter coats for families at a cost of $258.27 through Amazon.
In August 2023, we allocated $2,000 to support the Poudre River Library District's reading skills packages for low-income neighborhoods. Another initiative involved supplying snacks for Colorado Early College students, incurring an expenditure of $532.75.

Our collaboration with Kohl's Store enabled the re-implementation of the "superhero undies" program for elementary schools in the Poudre School District. A total of $3,147.77 was spent, and over 3000 pairs of undies were distributed, benefiting from a generous fifty percent discount from Kohl's.  Additionally, we have helped PSD Family Liaison coordinators with personal family crisis incidents that needed clothing, bedding, food, etc.
Throughout the year, we received valuable support from external partners. The Rotary Club generously donated $1,000 on August 2, 2023. In October, the Downtown Club of Fort Collins organized the "Hucks for Hope" disc golf tournament, resulting in a substantial donation of $4,030.00 to Neighborhoods United.
Additionally, through a PayPal transfer, we successfully collected and transferred $489.56 to our account. In November 2023, the Kiwanis Club of Fort Collins granted us $1,000.

Finally, we managed various operational expenses, including the Zoom annual fee, website update annual fees, and the Secretary of State yearly report fee.
Neighborhoods United expresses its gratitude for the continued support of the Board of Directors, officers and the community at large. We look forward to building on these successes in the coming year, furthering our mission to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
