CharityTracker gains traction

Online referral tool celebrates first corporate sponsor, 76 users and counting

A single mom raising two children is in need of a few pieces of furniture after finding stable housing and moving herself and her children out of homelessness. An elderly resident hopes to find a safe ride to an exercise class so she can work on staying strong and upright. A young family that lost everything in a house fire is in desperate need of food and short on money as they look to start over in a new home. The calls go out. Prayers are answered, needs are met and those among a vulnerable but widespread population in the community are able to shift their focuses from short-term crises to long-term goals of living thriving, independent lives. Those journeys can begin with CharityTracker.
