Twice a year we hold our Worldwide Day of Service. It’s a fulfilling day spent meeting the unique needs of the local communities where we live and work to create meaningful and positive change. This global service initiative—rooted in our 27,000 team members’ passion for serving underprivileged communities—grows every year, extending our impact around the globe. From spending time with our youth to our elderly—in kitchens, schools, homeless shelters, food banks and blood banks, and time outdoors—there’s no place or community too big or small.

What is one step can you take in your complex situation today? People who step in instead of away are my heroes. And my encouragement. The complexity: response to people living outdoors. Why do we do it? How do we do it? Who are the decision makers? Who are the funders? How do we learn from the people living this experience and expand our plans to let them help write them? A few of the hundreds of questions. The step: one household that now lives in a home. A #housingfirst step toward stability, calling on people with passion and dedication, federal funds, donations, and many other resources. It's a huge effort that begins with a "simple" mission of "everyone needs a home." Way to go, CATCH Idaho! Here's to 2024.
See all those tiny houses? 👀 Each one represents a household that is no longer experiencing homelessness 🧡🏠 “2023 was our biggest year yet! We proudly provided housing for a record-breaking 225 households, surpassing our previous record by an astounding 52 households! This monumental achievement marked a significant milestone in our relentless pursuit of making home a reality for every individual in the Treasure Valley.” - Stephanie Day, CATCH Executive Director Huge thank you to our staff, partners, volunteers, supporters, and community for making this work possible. Together, we are, and we will continue, to change lives 🧡🏠 To learn more about our impact last year, visit our website and read our 2023 Annual Report: https://lnkd.in/d9uCeveW

I spent my Christmas Eve feeding, clothing and talking to the homeless people in my community and this is what I learnt. 1. Resilience - Witnessing the resilience of the homeless community in London taught me that strength can be found even in challenging circumstances. 2. Human Connection - Spending time talking with homeless individuals highlighted the importance of human connection and the shared experiences that connect us all. 3. Gratitude - Engaging with the homeless population instilled a deep sense of gratitude for the privileges and comforts often taken for granted in everyday life. 4. Diverse Stories - Each person I met had a unique story, dispelling stereotypes and emphasizing the diversity within the homeless community, fostering empathy and understanding. 5. Community Support - Recognizing the impact of community support services underscored the significance of collaborative efforts in addressing homelessness and providing essential resources.

CALLING FOR UNIFICATION Homelessness is not an individual issue. It is a community issue. Our organization, Vision Possible, aims to conduct a God-given vision to help the homeless regain their lives and be productive citizens like you and me. However, no matter how ardently we desire to conduct the mission, we cannot do it alone. We need your involvement: We need your support to conduct the necessary tasks to resolve an insurmountable issue such as this. We realize this task is not minuscule; however, we firmly believe that collaboration between groups acting in solidarity to resolve this issue is attainable. We, therefore, solicit your assistance. We hope you will consider donating to Vision Possible to enable us to accomplish our mission at https://lnkd.in/gfSuCkA9 "Above all, keep loving one another earnestly since love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: 11 whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever." (1Peter 4:8-11)

How fitting that the day we recognize Homeless Persons Memorial Day is the Winter Solstice: the day on which those of us in the Northern Hemisphere see the most hours of darkness and the fewest of daylight. We know that access to safe, clean, affordable housing saves lives and repairs communities. It's why we do everything that we do.
