We’re excited to introduce Luke Colussi, one of the compassionate hearts behind our mission to make basic needs accessible for all. As a Program Assistant at Give Basic Needs, Luke brings a fresh perspective, dedication, and a drive to make a real difference in the world.
A recent graduate working as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant (COTA) in the rehabilitation field, Luke approaches both his professional and humanitarian work with empathy, focus, and a hands-on attitude. His clinical background brings valuable insight into the importance of dignity, accessibility, and support—core values we share as an organization.
Outside of work, Luke is a vibrant, curious soul. He enjoys building Legos and sandcastles, watching Formula 1 and touring car championships, skiing, and traveling to new places. His love for creativity and exploration is matched only by his desire to be part of something meaningful.
At Give Basic Needs, we believe our team is our greatest strength. People like Luke remind us that behind every impactful project is a person who cares deeply. We’re proud to have him on this journey with us—and we can’t wait for you to get to know more about the amazing individuals who power our mission.
