The
Challenges of Poverty and Pain
C3 Initiatives'
mission is to provide help and support to vulnerable people -
disabled Veterans, chronic pain and terminally ill patients,
low-income families, minorities, at-risk youth, substance
abusers - people trapped in poverty and hopelessness because
of physical, emotional or social challenges.
We serve
as an advocate, a helping hand and a guide for those seeking
to improve the quality of their lives. We are a "family of
choice" for those who find themselves alone in the world.
C3 is a membership based non-profit striving to
empower and enrich the lives of our members through service,
ownership, entrepreneurial initiatives and civic involvement.
We want them to fully participate in life and their community;
to lead a life independent of shelters and institutions.
Membership is a commitment to change our Nation - one
person, one business, one neighborhood at a time.
Matt and Cheryl walked
into C3 one afternoon looking for help with Matt's VA
benefits. While meeting with our Vet Rep, he mentioned
that his family was homeless. They were staying in a
motel and almost at the end of the small severance
package he received when he was "downsized" from his
computer job.
In two days they would be living on the
streets with their daughter. |
Cold Weather Care would like to thank you
for the time, energy, and space which allowed us to remain open on the weekends.
In the short amount of time
you spent with our guests you were able to touch and work with many of them in different ways.

This is a letter to let you good folks at C3 know how much we have been helped by you.
My 8-year-old daughter and I were in a bad place. On Jan 11th I was put on Medical leave from my job because I had cancer... without pay and no insurance of any kind.
A good friend directed me to C3 and C3 saved us in many ways.

Your donations of money, cars,
and food have made it possible to provide over 9,300
hours of direct services to people in need and aid to
over 1,000 individuals - emergency food and assistance
to families and disabled Veterans.
You made it
possible to provide Christmas gifts for Native American
children and helped local organizations for the disabled
provide better services for their members.
With
your help we will accomplish even more. Our Goal is to
break ground on a new assisted and independent living
facility which will provide long-term housing. The plans
are in place. This "Green" building will be energy
independent, relying on solar and wind power, using
state-of-the-art, environmentally conscious building
techniques and materials. Please help us build a home
for our Veterans. |
