LESS THAN 2 WEEKS REMAIN - ALL GIFTS MATCHED THROUGH DEC. 31ST
We're less than 2 weeks away from wrapping up The Best Chance Challenge but we can't slow down yet! We have just $7,391 remaining to raise until we meet our goal of $100,000 to help fund Anawim Housing's programs and services. We're asking for your help!

In just one week's time, we were able to raise over $10,000 through generous donor support for the families and individuals that call Anawim home. We know we can get there! Every little bit helps. Please share our message with your friends and family. Visit our Facebook , Twitter , LinkedIn or Instagram pages to share posts about our challenge.

Remember that from now - December 31st, all gifts are matched, dollar for dollar! When you support Anawim Housing, you give people The Best Chance to overcome homelessness and meet their full potential. We thank you for your support and generosity.
WEF THANKSGIVING EVENT -
MAKING A HOUSE A HOME
Thank you to all who joined us for our annual Women Empowering Families ThanksGIVING event at The Thoreau Center. This years' event included an inspiring presentation with special guest speakers Claressa and Bonnie. They shared of how Anawim and access to stable housing has made an impact in each of their lives. Guests donated household items to be distributed to new households moving into Anawim from homelessness. We want to thank our hard-working planning committee and board members for their help making this such a wonderful event.

It's been a busy holiday season as our Program Team have been moving in individuals and families coming from homelessness. The household items we've collected have been greatly appreciated by those moving in and help make their new place feel a little more like home. We also wish to thank the individuals and companies that included Anawim in their holiday giving and helped us stock our shelves with move-in necessities.
