📣 September’s Community Resource Newsletter is here!

September is Su***de Prevention Month, and it’s a good reminder that we all have a role to play in supporting one another. Take a moment to check in on a friend, family member, neighbor, or coworker. A simple “How are you doing?” can open the door to an important conversation. 💜

Our September newsletter is filled with local resources, upcoming events, food assistance, family activities, support services, and more — including resources for those who may be struggling or in need of someone to talk to.

Here's the link:

Take a look, save it, and share it! You never know who in your circle may need one of these resources.

Let’s continue looking out for each other and building a community where people know they are seen, supported, and never alone. 💜

When a roommate situation unexpectedly fell through, one man found himself without a place to call home. Determined to rebuild his life, he reached out to Home Is The Foundation and entered the emergency homeless shelter.

Working closely with his case manager, he developed a plan to increase his income, build his savings, and work toward long-term self-sufficiency. Through his dedication and perseverance, he was able to secure an apartment that was the perfect fit for his new beginning.

Thanks to the generosity of our community, his apartment quickly became a home. Donated furnishings including a bed, couch, and dresser provided comfort, while kitchen essentials and cleaning supplies gave him everything he needed to settle in and start this new chapter with confidence.

This story is a reminder that with determination, support, and a caring community, a fresh start is always possible.

Thank you for helping our clients feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated as they begin this exciting new chapter. Your generosity truly makes a difference! 💚
