Dear Friends,
Since 1983, ASGCC has provided care, compassion, and life-saving assistance to tens of thousands of people. Thanks to donor support, 2024 was another year of meaningful impact. In Falmouth alone, opioid overdose deaths dropped significantly, aided by our Overdose Awareness, Prevention, and NARCAN Response services.
Our true impact goes beyond the numbers. It's in the lives we save and the stories we hear every day: the person who walked into our Ptown Drop-in Center and felt pride instead of shame, the individual who survived an overdose and returned to thank our Hyannis team, the hundreds who accessed vital services through our Mobile Outreach Vans, and the families who found hope knowing our free services helped keep their loved ones alive.
Despite our impact, 2024 brought significant financial challenges. As a nonprofit, our funding comes from a variety of sources, like state and federal governments, foundation grants, and individual donors, all of which are unpredictable.
This year, we faced an unprecedented $483,000 decrease in government funding due to budget cuts-but this does not reflect a decrease in need for ASGCC's services. In fact, demand for our services continues to rise, and has outpaced our financial resources.
Communities rely on nonprofits like ours to address critical needs. ASGCC is the only Cape-wide organization that provides these types of preventative and life-saving services, including our targeted response to the opioid epidemic.
More than ever before, we are relying on the generosity of individuals in our community. We urge you to support us with a donation today. Every donation directly helps us deliver critical services to those most in need-services that could very well touch the life of someone you know or love.
Together, with support from friends like you, we can make a difference when it matters most. We're here. Together.
