Sometimes the best ideas begin with a simple conversation!

It was a pleasure speaking with Mr. Leroy as he shared his interest in gardening and the joy he finds in caring for his plants. His dedication is a wonderful reminder of the talents and interests within our PHA communities.

Could community gardening be our next resident activity?

PHA residents, we’d love to hear from you! Whether you’re an experienced gardener or someone who wants to learn, your interest and ideas are welcome.

A special thank you to Mr. Leroy for sharing his passion and helping inspire the conversation!

This November, they’re helping residents prepare for Thanksgiving by providing food items that can be used to prepare holiday side dishes!

We appreciate Devoted’s continued commitment to serving our communities and helping families stretch their grocery budgets.

GLOWING GOALS IS STILL SHINING BRIGHT! 🌟

Since launching, our Glowing Goals Youth Program has welcomed an average of approximately 35 youth every Thursday, and participation continues to grow!

Each week, our youth come together for meaningful conversations, educational activities, leadership development, and lessons that help them make positive decisions. We’re especially grateful for our guest speakers who share their time, knowledge, and experiences with our young people.

Beginning in December, we’ll bring elements of Glowing Goals to our new Youth Drama Club at the Ragsdale Community Center! This will include special guest presentations alongside reading, enrichment, and creative drama activities.

We’re building a calendar of guest speakers and activities that will give youth at both centers opportunities to learn, participate, and discover their potential.

We’re proud of the progress being made and look forward to welcoming even more young people.
