Adopted as a child, Avery recently moved in with his biological mother, two younger brothers and stepfather. He was overjoyed to be reunited with his family and is working toward continued success in his job.

For Avery, this new beginning includes having family to come home to. And around a family table, something as simple as sharing a meal can create space for connection and belonging.

Everyone deserves a meal around a table where they feel welcomed and cared for. At just $2.87 per meal, you can help make a seat at the table possible for a neighbor this Thanksgiving.

Like so many individuals who find themselves experiencing homelessness for the first time as an adult, Red had no idea when he was a young boy that his family’s dysfunction would seep its way into his own life choices.

“I went on drinking benders to avoid dealing with all the pain,” Red said. “What’s weird is that for so many years, I didn’t even know where the pain was coming from. I was just trying to live life.”

Things eventually came crashing down on Red in much the same way it had for his parents.
