The Ordinary People’s Society (2023)

The Ordinary People Society (TOPS) is an innovative, faith-based grassroots, civic engagement, community, and mutual aid organizing entity. Their mission is to be nonjudgmental, offering hope and creating an environment that provides a continuum of unconditional acceptance and care to individuals and their families without regard to race, sex, creed, color, religion, or social status. TOPS supports individuals and their families suffering the effects of drug addiction, mass incarceration, homelessness, poverty, unemployment, hunger, and the profound impacts of multi-generational poverty and oppression. This grant provides general operating support.
