TOGETHER WE CAN AND MUST END HOMELESSNESS:
On day 7 of our week long fundraiser we share a coreBELIEF that makes this all possible.
"TOGETHER we can and must end homelessness."
We begin by seeing that this is not just a homelessness crisis but also a community crisis. When we say homelessness crisis we talk about those people over there, but when we talk about a community crisis, we must include ourselves.
"TOGETHER we can and must end homelessness."
This Facebook page has been sharing the beauty of our neighbors on the streets for over 9 years now. With sensitivity, trust, and love there have been countless exchanges of empathy, tears, laughter, growth and friendship.
With all of you we are building the foundation for ending homelessness, one relationship at a time.
During that time every single ASK made for those in need has been met by YOU. Take a moment to realize how beautiful that is. Each time a person in crisis has reached out you have been there with nearly $300K donated in funds to meet specific needs. Also, countless items that include tents, tarps, clothing, musical instruments and more have been donated and delivered to our office and then given lovingly to the person that asked for it.
The tears of joy and hope created within those you have helped is beyond measure. It is a big deal what all you have done to help the most vulnerable in our community.

If you are reading this please donate. It is that simple. We need you now to help us continue the work of this page, of our 'Just Say Hello' campaign, the 'Window of Kindness', the 'Community CleanUPs', and the 'BLOCK Project!'
Take a moment if you will to read back through the posts of the previous six days and ask if this is something you want more of in your community.
PEACE and THANK YOU from the Facing Homelessness staff and board.
