We completed September in our ministry and here's the "weather report" looking back.

• Tuesday and Fridays were busiest in September with only about 6 days above seasonal averages, peaking at 27 served in a single Friday. The average for the month was 15 unique people served per day in our age range. So if you're looking for the crowd, Tuesday and Friday. And if you prefer to avoid it, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday are your best bet.
• Weekly numbers have been pretty consistent. The first week of September was very high with 53 unique clients in our age range served. The other weeks average 45, roughly 10% under seasonal average.
• After four straight summer months of busier than average months, September "cooled" down with 93 unique clients in our age range served. This is more than last year but a little under the seasonal average of 97. Welcome news! We're happy to slow down and spend a little more time with our clients!
• 2023 is still the second most populous year for clients 28 and under to date and may be on track to beat our record year of 2015 when so many weird things aligned to have lots of young people on the street. We've served 396 unique people in our age range so far this year. 2023 is #7, comparing total for the whole year.
