Community Anchors & Building Resilience

When we think about a vessel on the open sea, the anchor is used to steady the ship and keep the vessel from drifting off course against forces like wind and currents. It provides stabilization in open waters and a fixed point of reference in the shallows. A Community Anchor is much the same.

It is a steadying support for people experiencing poverty and crises. It serves as a resource central to a community or population group. It is a place where people naturally congregate; it is a trusted refuge where people experiencing a crisis already turn for help; and, most importantly, it feels like home.
