Monthly Spotlight

JUNE 2026
In May we partnered up with GL Homes to provide a new playground for the families in our transitional housing community in Golden Gate. The ribbon-cutting occurred on May 13, and since then, the playground has been full of laughter and cheer as more than 50 children now have a safe space to play while their parents continue their journey back to self-sufficiency.
