HOLY CROSS HEROES LIVESTREAM
EVENT DETAILS
To honor the heroic efforts of our staff, interns and volunteers over this past pandemic year, Holy Cross Ministries (HCM) celebrated these incredible individuals through a Holy Cross Heroes Livestream on May 19th.
Our Holy Cross heroes played an integral role in Utah’s coronavirus response:
- HCM served 2,904 individuals in 2020 – 85% were immigrants, 74% were uninsured and 50% were living in poverty.
- HCM staff provided 4,318 resource referrals in 2020 — a nearly 80% increase since 2019.
- HCM therapists worked diligently to meet unprecedented mental health needs, providing trauma-informed care to 250 individuals – a nearly 95% increase compared to 2019.
- HCM community health workers provided direct services to hundreds of individuals in communities with high rates of COVID infection.
- 77 HCM volunteers donated 1,877 hours of their time to supporting the organization — a nearly 30% increase in volunteer time compared to 2019.
- HCM’s early childhood education and immigration programs smoothly transitioned to virtual platforms, delivering the families we serve the same high-quality assistance.
