We know that loneliness can be a killer, but what happens when you have no home to gather in, and are not welcome in most common spaces due to the stigma of being unhoused? How do you keep social connections intact and build new, healthy connections?

This is the reality of our unhoused neighbors who are part of our community, and they need connection to heal, just like anyone.

When we discuss community at Nest, it is not only about inviting the community into the shelter; as an organization, we regularly volunteer throughout our community as well. Last night, a few of our volunteers, Marcus, Theresa, and our Assistant Director, Janelle, gave back to the community by volunteering at the concessions stand at La Porte's Art in the Park.

Nest isn't only about bringing our guests into the community but also about bringing the community to our guests. One of our more recent examples of community at work is the gift of classes taught each Friday at 2 pm at our Michigan City location by Healing through Human Connection. This class is open to our guests and to the community. This class focuses on goal setting and how to achieve goals.
