Annual Report (FY24)
As Foundation 2 Crisis Services proudly enters our 55th year of service, I reflect on a legacy of unwavering commitment to the most vulnerable members of the communities we serve. Since our inception in 1970, we have been a source of strength and compassion, illustrated by our mission to be a trusted support when life gets tough. All people. Any time. Every time.
This past year has been monumental. With the opening of our new headquarters, we have not only combined buildings and expanded our physical presence, but also increased our capacity to serve. Our new headquarters isn’t merely a structure. It symbolizes our resilience and forward-thinking commitment to supporting people experiencing crisis. It stands as evidence of our enduring presence and steadfast dedication to our clients and our team.
We are immensely proud of the impact our work has had over the past 54 years. The commitment, compassion and effort of our employees, past and present, have built a strong foundation for our work now and into the future. The landscape of mental health services is ever-evolving and we are ready to continue leading this work.
Through our 24/7 crisis services, in-person counseling, shelter support, or community-based prevention programs, we ensure that no one faces their struggles alone, including you and those you love.
With your continued support and advocacy, our future is bright! Thank you for being part of our journey and for trusting us to be part of your support system in times of need. Together, we will continue to make a difference by changing and saving lives.
