A Season of Gratitude: A Year of Impact with our Chosen Community

Dear Friends,  As we enter this season of gratitude, I’ve been reflecting on the many forms that family and belonging take. I learned early on that care, stability, and love come from the people who choose to show up for you. That truth has guided my life—and it’s one of the reasons I feel so deeply connected to PRC’s mission. 

At PRC, we meet people at some of the most vulnerable moments in their lives. We walk alongside them until they can stand firmly again. In many ways, we become a chosen community—a place where people are met with dignity, respect, and real support. 

This powerful sense of chosen community comes to life in our 2024/25 Impact Report, Hope Grows Here.

We’re proud to share it with you—and deeply grateful to show what’s possible thanks to your partnership and support.

These numbers represent more than outcomes—they represent people: people who found safety, support, confidence, and community because someone believed in them. 

And that someone includes you. 

As you gather with loved ones this Thanksgiving, I hope you feel immense pride knowing you are part of a community that makes healing possible: a community whose generosity helps people move from crisis to stability every single day.  

If you’re able, I invite you to help keep this hope growing by considering a year-end gift—especially as we approach Giving Tuesday. Thank you for ensuring PRC remains a place where everyone is welcomed and empowered.

With gratitude, 

Dr. Deborah Hawkes 
Chief Executive Officer, PRC
