RISING TOWARD COMMUNITY EVENT
On June 21st, Anawim Housing Programs hosted the first "Rising Toward Community" event. Occurring on the Summer Solstice, the event celebrated the success of those who have overcame homelessness and housing instability. Organized by Anawim and members of Anawim's peer mentoring Full Circle group, "Rising Toward Community" featured nine speakers ranging from tenants with lived experiences to Mayor Frank Cownie, State Senator Claire Clesi, and other community partners. Pictured are three members of Full Circle who bravely and confidently shared their inspiring stories.

Thank you to all who attended and made this celebration such a great success. We look forward to continuing it for many years to come!
