Sister José Women’s Center, a Tucson-based nonprofit, is committed to the mission of aiding and uplifting women experiencing homelessness. At their low-barrier day center, they offer unaccompanied women stability and safety, providing them with a refuge to heal from the harsh realities of life in the United States. There are women centers and women's shelters but there are not enough beds. These elderly women are vulnerable, most of them have chronic illness or battling with dementia. They are experiencing homelessness because they cannot afford housing in Tucson anymore. Sweeping away homeless encampments is not the solution. Tucson, how can we help? This is not a rhetorical question: If we all get together, I am sure we can find a solution. https://lnkd.in/d7ttvhkB

#Tulsa #Tuesday #NonProfit #Spotlight 🏡In the comfort of our homes, it's easy to overlook a hard truth that stares back at us from the streets of our beloved Tulsa. As recently reported by Tulsa World Magazine, an alarming number of 1,133 of our fellow Tulsans faced the harsh reality of homelessness in 2022. And the challenge is growing, with Oklahoma's unsheltered homeless population rising by 15% over the past decade, according to the National Alliance to End Homelessness. This isn’t just a statistic—it's a wake-up call. It's about real people, with hopes and dreams, who are part of our community. 🌟 Against this backdrop, Green Country Habitat for Humanity has emerged as a beacon of hope, steadfastly serving families in the Tulsa area since 1988.

Imagine the joy, imagine the relief of a family moving into a home they can call their own—for the very first time. You can be part of that transformative moment. 👉 Here’s how you can help right now: - Volunteer your time and skills on build projects. - Make a financial contribution, big or small, every bit helps. - Share this message and spread the word.

Approximately 1 in 28 children in the United States has a parent incarcerated(jail or prison), heightening the risk of perpetuating this intergenerational cycle. Consequently, the involvement of community members and organizations dedicated to supporting teenagers and families is crucial. Numerous community-based organizations are actively addressing this issue. Consider aligning your support with one that resonates with your values by contributing through donations or volunteering. While I passionately endorse my organization, there are numerous others making a significant impact. If you are involved in initiatives aiding families or teenagers in our community, kindly share your organization's information and mission below to facilitate awareness and support. Collaboratively, we can make strides toward positively impacting the lives of children and families in our community. #intervention #prevention #arkansas

Four decades, four causes. In staying true to one of our primary core values – giving back - we are honouring each of our four decades with a donation of $40,000 split between 4 different causes. This week, we would like to highlight our second cause – Atlohsa Family Healing Services. Founded in 1986, as an outgrowth of a Needs Assessment Survey, which indicated a severe need for family violence services catered specifically to First Nations communities to promote the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of First Nations women, men and children. Today, Atlohsa’s services include holistic wellness, emergency shelters, transitional support, anti-human trafficking programs, youth programs, supportive housing, winter response programs, and so much more! Our donation will be applied to their Zhaawanong 24-hour emergency women’s shelter, which is an Indigenous-led shelter and support for First Nations women and their children who are at risk of violence, abuse, and/or homelessness. For the women and children that stay at Zhaawanong, it isn’t a shelter or even a house… it’s a home. A place that, for many, represents the first time they’ve ever felt a sense of safety and belonging. We are thrilled to be able to support such an incredible organization! #thezavitzway
