My Message

Dear friends,

I’m reaching out today to ask for your help.

On my daily commute, I pass people experiencing homelessness—people who are suffering right in front of me. Too often, I’ve kept moving, telling myself I’m too pressed for time or unsure what to do. Recently, that stopped feeling acceptable to me.

I don’t have the answers, but I do trust Our Place Society—their skills, experience, and compassion. That’s why I’ve signed up for the Coldest Night of the Year Walk.

I’d love for you to join my team, —to walk, fund-raise, or simply stand with me in support of our community.

Thank you for caring.
Melanie
❤️
