I am evidence that the Head Start program works. I have been inspired to continue serving others through education. My family has been empowered and motivated to endure through adversity. Our community here in Utah has been, and will continue to be uplifted for the work that each of you do.

Utah Community Action was a lifeline during our family’s crisis. They provided emergency rental assistance and guidance when we needed it most. Thanks to their assistance, my children and I have a safe place to call home, and I have hope for our future.

Case Management and Housing Client
I’ve always tried to provide for my kids without asking for help, but after a serious car accident left me hospitalized and without transportation, I lost my job and couldn’t make ends meet. As a single dad living in Tooele, getting to Salt Lake City for work became impossible, and I was struggling to keep the heat on and care for my children. When I reached out for help, I was met with compassion and understanding. Utah Community Action walked me through the HEAT Utility Assistance and connected me with resources for housing and employment. I was overwhelmed with gratitude—I never expected so much support. I’ll never forget the kindness I received when I needed it most.
