The Pulse of the Park: Capturing the Impact
It’s one thing to say we’re making a difference; it’s another to see the numbers that prove it. Project Dignity documented the number of people who showed up to receive help, looking for recourses and connection to a community who cares.
The data tells the story of the need; the community tells the story of the hope.
Data recorded from June 2022 - December 2024
