From the Executive Director
What a year this was! When the fiscal year started in July 2019, I never could have imagined what we had in store for us at the beginning of 2020. We have always been ultimately responsible to our community and, when the pandemic hit, we worked hard to quickly adapt in order to address the specific needs of community members. This annual report reflects that.
It also reflects the result of what I focused on in my letter for the fiscal year 2018/19 annual report. With continued investments in organizational administrative capacity and sustainability, we are producing more and more engaging content that celebrates the efforts, talents and dedication of staff, leaders, volunteers, participants and supporters. For the fiscal year 2019/20 annual report, we put all this content into one place to give you a tour through the rollercoaster ride that was this fiscal year.

From the BOARD Director
For many years, we have recognized the need to establish a reserve of funds that can support community members in emergency situations – the pandemic magnified this need a hundred fold. The creation of the Little Village Emergency Assistance Fund was a huge accomplishment that couldn’t have been achieved without the outpouring of support from our community and the generous donations of hundreds of individuals and a long list of private and corporate foundations. The financial information and lists of supporters on the following pages are testament to this.
