As I reflect on what a “Season For All” means, I think about exactly what this means to the guests we serve daily at
the COAC. I plan to give each guest the gift of inclusiveness and support that can empower them to get through their challenging time with a lighter heart and a mind that is at ease. Regardless of their circumstances, they know our Center is dedicated to helping them with their essential resources such as IDs, birth certificates, social security cards etc. We know that this access is critical to helping them with stable housing, employment and additional services that are needed to facilitate them through their challenging times. As I continue my internship with the COAC, I want to continue the Center’s dedication to uplifting spirits, valuing our guests and giving collective support to those in need. As we push through the holidays, let’s all think of “A Season For All” as a time to embrace each moment as an opportunity to make a difference and contribute to a brighter future for those experiencing homelessness. Showing compassion, patience, and empathy gives us the power of advocacy and gives a positive impact for those we serve. With that said, let’s make this “Season For All” an unforgettable one for our guests.
