Collaboration is key to turning ideas into high-impact, actionable results

WTHN is grateful to All Kind Animal Initiative for working with our neighbors experiencing homelessness to vaccinate their dogs.
Fun fact: a key to permanent housing is having animals shot records up to date. This was made possible because of the services provided by All Kind Animal Initiative. We thank you!!

WTHN END OF YEAR CELEBRATION 🥳
Last week, we ended our year celebrating the wins in our community. We heard from households and individuals on how they successfully obtain permanent housing. It takes COMMUNITY to address the social issue of homelessness. WE ALL have a hand in the systematic approaches of making homelessness rare, brief, and non recurring. Thank you to all those involved in the work!

Thanks to Community Foundation of Abilene for helping make Christmas come true for our older youth. Our teenage youth were in need of Christmas this year, and we are grateful for donors who gave to support this year. A special thank you to our friend, Dionne at Walmart who helped assist today. Another Christmas miracle for our youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
