On December 13, 2024, the Homeless Alliance of WNY hosted its Annual Luncheon. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us, supporting to this important cause. The energy and passion in the room were a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we work together.
The luncheon highlighted the collective efforts of our community to address homelessness, showcasing stories of progress, resilience, and impact. Together, we celebrated the strides made in advocating for change, maximizing resources, and sharing expertise.
