2024 Year In Review

A Letter from the Board

Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, ORW helped a record number of neighbors in 2024.


Your kindness helps sustain the dignity of men, women, and families in our community who are facing financial hurdles that can have devastating consequences. 

 

The idea is simple, the impact is immeasurable.
