We Empower Families ThanksGIVING Event

Anawim Housing is hosting a very special event to support those moving into Anawim from homelessness - Our We Empower Families ThanksGIVING Event. 

Event presented by The Graham Group and Family Communications Associates | Claudette and PJ McDonald. 

We are combining art with our mission of developing stable homes and strengthening communities. Art is a wonderful way for people from all  backgrounds to come together, create inclusion, and find connection. The resiliency, personal growth and strength we witness from those who have transitioned out of homelessness into Anawim Housing will be celebrated through art and an inspiring presentation.  

The event will feature a silent art auction, food, drinks, and moving stories of resiliency. We look forward to sharing beautiful works created by both local artists at Mainframe Studios, and by Anawim Housing program tenants.

Thursday, November 11th

5:30 - 7:30 PM
