Join us as we gather to recognize individuals from across our community and fundraise to continue our efforts to eliminate homelessness at its root causes!
The Homeless Alliance’s annual luncheon recognizes members of our local Continuum of Care (CoC), collaborators, and sponsors who have contributed to the mission of our organization. Join us as we celebrate the great strides that are being made every day to end homelessness in Western New York.
This year, we are delighted to offer a fully catered luncheon, a variety of fun ways to support our cause, and an award ceremony recognizing outstanding members of our community. In addition to your free thank you gift, all attendees will have the opportunity to purchase raffle tickets for prizes generously donated by individuals and organizations across WNY, a play at our Wine Pull Table, and more!
