We are thrilled to announce that Pacific Crest Services, Inc. has successfully secured an additional $5,000 for the Family Justice Center Foundation (FJCF) through the 2024 Make More Happen™ Awards! This incredible achievement was made possible thanks to the overwhelming support and votes from our community. Let’s take a moment to share our journey and celebrate this milestone together.
The Make More Happen™ Award
The Make More Happen™ Awards, sponsored by Liberty Mutual and Safeco Insurance, are designed to provide financial support to community nonprofits. These awards recognize and celebrate the efforts of local agents who give back to their communities. Each nominated nonprofit initially receives a $5,000 donation commitment, with the potential to double that amount through a community voting campaign.
Supporting the Family Justice Center Foundation
The Nampa Family Justice Center (NFJC) is a crucial nonprofit in our community, promoting safety, self-sufficiency, hope, and healing for those affected by abuse. They offer confidential and holistic services free of charge to individuals who have experienced domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, elder abuse, stalking, or human trafficking. In 2023 alone, the NFJC served about 130 new clients each month and provided approximately 10,600 services to victims at no cost.
A Personal Connection
At Pacific Crest Services, supporting the NFJC is a cause close to our hearts. One of our employees, Laura Jewett, is a domestic violence survivor whose life was profoundly impacted by the center’s advocates. Laura now serves as board treasurer and volunteers at fundraising events, dedicating her time and efforts to help others find the same support and healing she received.
The Journey to $10,000
When we were selected for the Make More Happen™ Award, we knew we had the chance to make a significant impact. The initial $5,000 donation was a fantastic start, but we aimed higher, knowing that an additional $5,000 could provide even more resources for the NFJC. The voting campaign began, and we reached out to our community, sharing the importance of the NFJC’s work and asking for votes to help us secure the extra funds.
The Power of Community
The response was overwhelming. Our community came together, voting, sharing our story, and spreading the word. Each vote brought us closer to our goal, and your support made all the difference. Thanks to your dedication and participation, we surpassed the required votes and secured the additional $5,000, bringing the total donation to $10,000!
Making a Difference
The additional funds will enable the NFJC to provide even more vital services, including short-term rentals, emergency housing, groceries, fuel, transportation, and home security devices. These resources are crucial in helping victims of abuse find safety and rebuild their lives.
Thank You!
We are deeply grateful to everyone who voted and supported us throughout this journey. Your efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of those served by the NFJC. Together, we are making a difference in our community and providing hope and healing to those who need it most.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to support the incredible work of the Nampa Family Justice Center. Thank you for being a part of this amazing journey!
