Our Annual Report
In 2024, Bluffton Self Help continued to evolve. We met our neighbors where they were as we remained deeply committed to promoting positive growth in the lives of our neighbors. We simultaneously experienced increases in the cost of fuel, groceries, and rent, requiring creativity and strategic thinking on our part. Despite the challenges, our impact never wavered thanks to a community of generous and faithful supporters who heartily believe and invest the work we do together in our community.
