In just two hours, our Coffee & Conversation event created meaningful dialogue and impactful Q&A around homelessness—covering the realities and effects of being unhoused, the Needs Management Map, and tangible ways our community can become more involved in helping to end homelessness.

Our panel featured our dedicated program leadership, including Matthew Albert Tommelein, Niemi, Herren, and Goddard. We were also honored to have remarks and participation from our CEO, Stoyka, our Lead Navigator Mr. Walk, Community Outreach Case Manager Cass T. Our, and Board Chair Santiz, who shared updates on our upcoming 5K event.

There were thoughtful questions, valuable connections made, and a shared commitment to action, and for that, we are truly grateful to everyone who attended and engaged.

A special thank-you to our generous donut donors for keeping the conversation energized: Tim Hortons, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and delicious donuts.
