Letter From the Director

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generous support in 2025. Your commitment to our mission is more than a gift—it’s a direct investment in the lives of those we serve and a better future for our community.

Thanks to YOU, we were able to meet an unprecedented surge in demand this past year. With your support, we provided 18,662 free clinic-based services (a 21% increase!) and distributed healthy food to 26,192 families, reaching over 110,000 of our neighbors (15% more than in 2024). We also helped 350 high school students bridge the gap toward careers in healthcare. These milestones demonstrate the real, lasting change we are achieving together.

However, the need isn’t slowing down. As we enter 2026, health insurance is becoming even less affordable, and food prices remain historically high. Many of the families we serve are being forced to make the impossible choice between putting food on the table or paying rent—leaving them just one unplanned medical bill away from homelessness.

With supporters like you by our side, we are committed to keeping these essential services available for our neighbors across Ventura County throughout the coming year. We are honored to have your trust and look forward to sharing the impact of your continued partnership through our quarterly updates.

Please see the enclosed annual report summary and your 2025 giving history to WFC for your records.

With gratitude,

Lisa Safaeinili
CEO/Executive Director
