We couldn't let this week go by without saying a special THANK YOU to the generous individuals and businesses who sponsored our annual Celebration for Change event this year. Thanks so much to all of you for helping VOASCLA serve the most vulnerable members of our community, including families in poverty, people with intellectual, developmental or behavioral disorders, Veterans, homeless individuals, low-income seniors, at-risk youth and foster children. God bless you all. (fb)

Big shout-out to the folks who made this year’s Celebration for Change video story a resounding success. UNBREAKABLE features Army Veteran Joshua Gibson and Navy Veteran Talia Soriano, who came from very different backgrounds and both found themselves facing homelessness. It's a story of their military service and subsequent struggles, and how VOASCLA’s Veteran Services program helped them get to where they are now. THANK YOU to our amazing SSVF staff who not only contributed to making this story happen but also do the work of helping Veterans each and every day. SPECIAL THANKS to Army Veteran and Purple Heart Recipient Michael McNaughton, our Veterans Peer Support Outreach Specialist, Veterans Services Division Director Sonya Jackson, Case Manager II Kevana Lewis, and Case Manager Bridgette Robinson.
