Hello April!! We are in need of our communities help. We lost lots of larger tree branches due to the winter storms and the rain and winds. We are in need of someone to come dispose of the branches. We have put them all in one location the best that we could but have nowhere to put them from there. If you are able to help please call us or stop by, we grateful appreciate it!

🛏️ Doubled-Up homelessness: The hidden crisis 🏚️

Homelessness does not always mean individuals living in tents or shelters. Over 4 million Americans are "doubled up," crashing on couches, sharing overcrowded spaces, or living in unstable arrangements to avoid the streets.

They’re students sleeping in friends’ basements, families squeezed into one-bedroom apartments, workers living in garages. It’s invisible, but it’s real. And it’s growing.

📢 Housing insecurity isn’t just about who’s outside. It’s about who’s barely hanging on inside.

People often ask outside of monetary how else can they help. Right now we could use lysol spray, cleaning/disinfectant supplies, trash bags, toilet paper and paper towels. We appreciate our community and all they continue to do for us!
