Vision
Relief, Recovery, Restoration

History of Organization
Then
Thrive 10:10 was founded to address pressing needs in Mahoning Valley, focusing on providing support and resources to those facing economic hardship. Its earliest programs, like Ruth’s Boutique, offered essentials such as personal care items and served as a beacon for individuals in need. In those early days, Thrive 10:10’s vision was simple but powerful: to bring hope, support, and a pathway out of poverty to underserved community members.
​
Now
Today, Thrive 10:10 has evolved into a multifaceted organization with an expanded range of programs designed to empower individuals and families to break the cycle of poverty. Getting Ahead, launched a few years ago, has
become a flagship program, providing participants with skills, basic financial literacy, and resources for self-sufficiency. This success led to the introduction of Staying Ahead, a complementary initiative offering ongoing support to ensure sustained progress for program graduates. Ruth’s Boutique has also grown, now featuring mobile Pop-Up Shops that bring essential items directly into communities, making resources even
more accessible.
This growth has been fueled by a dedicated team. Thrive 10:10 continues to build on its early success by expanding outreach, increasing program
frequency, and strengthening volunteer engagement. As it stands today, Thrive 10:10 remains committed to empowering Mahoning Valley residents and transforming lives, building a sustainable foundation for economic
equity and resilience in the community.
