Hello Nune,


As we step into the new year, I am excited to extend my warmest wishes to you and your family. As we collectively embark on this fresh chapter celebrating new journeys in 2024, let us draw inspiration from Robin's story—a journey marked by determination, resilience, and the pursuit of education.


Robin's story reflects the essence of our mission at Santa Maria—to empower individuals to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. In 2023, our programs made a significant impact on the lives of our Price Hill neighbors. Here’s a sampling of some of our results.


  • 310 community members actively participated in our Workforce Development program.
  • 14 individuals successfully graduated from our Work Experience program, equipped with valuable skills for their professional journeys.
  • 75 adults advanced successfully in English as a Second Language, breaking language barriers and fostering inclusivity.
  • 135 participants attended our financial literacy classes, gaining essential knowledge for a secure future.
  • All 113 families in our Stable Families program maintained stable housing with 31 families successfully completing the program.
  • 49 people successfully completed our Tenant Education program, enhancing their understanding of housing rights and responsibilities.


These achievements underscore the collective impact we can make when we work together toward a common goal. As we celebrate these accomplishments and embrace the possibilities that 2024 holds, I invite you to join us in making a lasting impact on the lives of our neighbors. Your support, whether through volunteering your time, contributing to our programs, or spreading the word about our programs helps us continue this vital work of empowerment and community building. Together, let's create positive change in Greater Price Hill. Thank you for being a crucial part of Santa Maria's mission.


Sincerely,

H.A. Musser, Jr.
