“The first week I was kind of timid and shy, I didn’t want to come out of my shell. The Opening Doors staff, they made it comfortable and made me feel like somebody.
“When I come to the Center, I get family. In class, I make new friends. The Center has done so much for me, and I’m so happy.
“The Center changed my life. It made me strong. It made me trust myself and believe in myself. I am thankful for the safety here.
“The POP Scholarship was amazing. It completely paid for my associate degree. It also provided wrap-around coverage for food distribution, internet access, and gas vouchers to go back and forth from Milford. Every little bit helped.
For 20 years, the Center for People has been touched by many in our community. In 2024, we are actively reaching out to gather those stories.
