Program Goals and Outcomes

In our first three years, we aim to serve over 1,500 individuals, launch a full-scale community hub, and become a trusted voice for justice and restoration. We are currently pursuing strategic partnerships with local schools, churches, and workforce agencies to multiply our impact.

To fuel our vision, SACRED will raise support through grants, individual donors, sponsorships, and faith-based coalitions. Our long-term sustainability will be anchored in strong community relationships, data-informed impact reporting, and a shared belief in the God-given potential of every person we serve.

At Saint Anthony’s, restoration is not just a goal—it’s a sacred mission. Together, we will build communities where the forgotten are remembered, the voiceless are heard, and the hopeless are given reason to hope again.
