Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) 

Enter the Circle of Friends program, a beacon of hope for those transitioning from homelessness to community integration. Picture intimate gatherings of dedicated volunteers, walking alongside individuals like Sam, reclaiming their lives from isolation. Sam's journey, once marred by loneliness, found solace in the companionship of her circle. Amidst pandemic-induced isolation, Sam's circle created bonds through shared experiences like budget-friendly cooking adventures. This genuine connection transformed Sam's outlook, culminating in her best birthday in years. Circle of Friends isn't merely a program; it's a community fostering genuine connections and guiding individuals towards brighter futures filled with encouragement and growth.
