Our partner with the Community Cares Initiative, Open Door Mission, Anna Valeria CEO of Open Door Mission and Kate Munzinger, Vice President of Advancement, spoke to our club.

This year, Open Door Mission embraced a powerful truth: gratitude opens hearts and doors. In June, they launched their year-long campaign, Grateful Hearts Open Door, a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering generosity of our community. Every meal served, every bed offered, every life uplifted has been made possible by Greece Rotary and other organizations and is becoming a model for other communities

This campaign is more than a thank-you. It’s a celebration of the countless ways our support has helped them grow, evolve, and extend our reach to those who need it most. Through the Community Cares Initiative, families facing unimaginable hardship have found shelter, stability, and a second chance—before homelessness could take hold.

Because of you, doors didn’t close. They opened wide—with love, dignity, and hope.
