To be loved is to be seen.
To be loved is to be remembered.
To be loved is to be accepted.

Because of your support, generosity, and belief in our mission, lives are being touched—and for that, we are forever grateful.

Thank you to every donor, volunteer, partner, and supporter who continues to stand with us. You are helping us build more than services—you are helping us build belonging.

This Christmas, and always, thank you for loving our community and for being part of the work we do every single day.

🎄🤍 Merry Christmas from all of us at New Beginnings

No one chooses the cold. No one chooses the sidewalk. Behind every tent is a story. Being unhoused doesn’t make someone less human. It just means life hit harder. A warm meal, a kind word, a safe place — it can change everything.

This Christmas, one bike could change everything.
Every morning, a teenage girl in our community begins her day before sunrise. Without a place to call home, she walks 2.5 miles each way to school—rain or cold, tired and carrying more than any young person should have to.
She’s doing everything right. She shows up. She keeps going. She believes school is her path forward.
This Christmas, her one wish is simple: a bike.�Not a luxury—a lifeline. A bike would mean less exhaustion, safer travel, and a little more time and energy to just be a kid.
We’re asking our community to come together and help us make this happen. Your gift—big or small—will help us purchase a bike and give her something powerful this holiday season: relief, dignity, and hope.
💛 Please consider donating today and sharing this post. Together, we can make her journey a little lighter.

For the kids in our program, Christmas can feel uncertain — a simple toy can mean being seen, remembered, and cared for during a season that should feel joyful. 🎄

We are collecting Christmas gifts for the children of our clients, and every gift matters. You can view the toy wishlist directly on our website (Link in bio), or if it’s easier, you can make a donation and we’ll make sure each child receives something special.

Your kindness can turn worry into wonder and bring a smile where it’s needed most.
💛 Please help us make Christmas brighter for these kids.

As we approach the end of the year, we are deeply grateful for the progress we’re making. It hasn’t always been easy, but every milestone brings us closer to lasting change. We’re thankful for our community, our team, and everyone who believes in this work. 277 clients housed agency-wide. Behind this number are real people, new beginnings, and a community that shows up. 💙

“You are welcome here. Whoever you are — no matter your age, your size, the color of your eyes, or whom you love — you are welcome here.”

This beautiful message from lives on their front page, and this week they lived it out by supporting our clients with two full boxes of hand-knitted scarves, hats, socks, and gloves. For that, we are deeply grateful.

This is what community looks like.
This is how kindness spreads.

Grateful beyond words.
