The Impact of Modest Needs® to Date

Does every family assisted by Modest Needs remain self-sufficient? According to what these families tell us, most have - thanks to a small, well-timed helping hand.

Presuming that just two-thirds of the 302 families our friends and partners have assisted so far have remained employed as a result, the table below shows the overall impact Modest Needs' grants have had to date, both on the families that we've been able to help, and on the communities that these families call 'home.'
