The winter solstice is here, and the darkness has shrouded us. The daylight will be longer starting tomorrow, and some say with the light, hope comes, as well: hope for better conditions for our brothers and sisters who are unhoused; hope for expanded services; hope for housing. Hope is a powerful tool that we've talked about before. Hope fuels motivation and powers all of us to strive towards a goal, and gives us a path to happiness. Hope is essential for all of us.

This man left our table after receiving food and some warm clothes.

Some of the people we serve spend the majority of their time alone. This is a personal choice that is driven by a multitude of reasons, including previous traumas, mental illness, safety, lack of trust, etc. One of our friends, in particular, does not feel accepted by his peers and spends most days alone. When he comes to visit, he often stays for an extended period of time and chats with us. He often doesn't need any material items; he needs the social contact and support we offer. While many of us are running around this year excited about Christmas preparations and seeing family, those who are unhoused may have one another, or they may be alone. Please keep them in your hearts during this holiday season.

Visitors and volunteers in conversation.

Many of our visitors come to us needing items to protect them from the cold. Thanks to you, we've been able to provide coats, hats, gloves, sweatpants, and hand warmers without any delay. We've been able to provide snow pants/bibs, boots, and thick winter socks, as well. We're 100% reliant on your support to continue our work. We'll send out an updated needs list in a few days; you can always refer back to the previous list or contact us with questions.

Blessing to All,
