A Message from Central Community House Executive Director, Tammy Forrest 2020 was a year like no other, filled with sweat, tears, laughter, and kindness. Things shifted very quickly in March with the COVID-19 pandemic, and we shifted with it. Our priorities, though, continued to include promoting fellowship and healthy dialogue, embracing assets, empowerment, and creating community. What felt like an impossible transition was a hard one, but also a growing moment for Central Community House (“Central”). This following report showcases the incredible impact that Central was able to make during one of the most challenging human events we’ve ever faced. The financial health of our organization is strong. In 2020, funders were generous, and our hard work was energized by the love and investment of our community. This year, Central Community House had its largest budget since 2010, totaling over $2 million, and 37% larger than our 2019 budget. Through the whirlwind of ups and downs, we persevered. We enhanced our experience, skills, and confidence. This, in combination with continued efforts to innovate and collaborate, ensure that in 2021, Central will continue to effectively support, and guide, the community through hard times. We would not be where we are today without all of the partners, funders, donors, volunteers, staff, and supporters that worked hard and showed unwavering kindness throughout the year. We continue to be grateful and humbled by the trust and commitment we feel every day from those we engage and partner with.
