📝 National Write to Congress Day | January 3
Today is National Write to Congress Day — a reminder that our democracy works best when citizens use their voices.
Writing to your state and federal representatives is one of the most direct ways to share concerns, advocate for your community, and hold elected officials accountable. Whether it’s about housing, small business impacts, or policies affecting your daily life, your perspective matters.
Many people don’t know who represents them — or that a simple email, letter, or phone call can influence change. Today is the perfect opportunity to learn, engage, and participate.
📬 Democracy doesn’t stop at the ballot box.
✍️ Take a moment today to write to your representatives and make your voice heard.
🔑 KEY FRIDAY 🔑
Today, we’re celebrating more than keys — we’re celebrating home.
Because of your support, another neighbor has taken the step from homelessness into permanent housing. This key represents safety, dignity, and the beginning of a new chapter filled with possibility.
At St. John Center, we meet people where they are and support them as they move forward on their own terms.
Join us in celebrating this moment — and every person who makes it possible. 💙
Congratulations on this amazing achievement!!
Congratulations!
✨ New Year’s Day ✨
A new year brings renewed hope, fresh possibilities, and continued commitment. As we step into this next chapter, we do so grounded in our mission: housing as a right, not a privilege.
Thank you to our supporters, partners, and community who make this work possible every day. Together, we look ahead with purpose, compassion, and grace. Here’s to a year of impact, stability, and home. 🏠
