By the grace of God we were able to establish a positive consistent presence thatengaged an average of 277 students each week. As is typical at each of our locations, our staff spent hundreds of hours inenvironments attempting to connect students to resources that would help them address mental health challenges, grow intheir faith, or simply enjoy relationships with fellow students or campus ministers that cared about them.We were able to see the following measurable outcomes:62 student leaders were engaged in weekly leadership development programs.Hundreds of Emory students benefited from our Eagle Food Co-op (services for students with food insecurity.)121 students involved in small group Bible studies.We engaged an average of 750 students each week through various programs across our three locations.We served more than 19,000 cups of coffee: and served more than 4,000 home cooked meals to hungry college students.196 students completed over 600 hours of community service in the last 12 months.84 students took steps of faith toward Jesus!
