Our Impact
Creating lasting change
through collaboration and community support.
Our impact is reflected in the meaningful outcomes we achieve together. Through support and guidance, participants are empowered to set and achieve goals that promote their overall well-being. We measure success not just through numbers, but through the stories of our clients, individuals who have been empowered to create lasting change.
“We can support people. We can walk with them. We can be with them. No matter what. And that’s what brings me to work every day.”
“They’re not just workers. I’ve built life-long connections that I don’t want to ever lose, through CUPS.”
CUPS is responsive and innovative to meet the complex and ever-changing needs of our community.

Financial Reports
“CUPS saw me as a person on the street and wouldn’t judge me, they saw me as who I really am. I faced a lot of stereotyping, but CUPS took the time to get to know me and see me as a person. I will forever be very appreciative of CUPS for everything they’ve done.”
