Advocates for unhoused residents living in the South Bay are hoping to raise $500,000 to put a down payment on a building that would create a center that would provide wraparound services.
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Advocates for unhoused residents living in the South Bay gathered at Backesto Park in San Jose on Wednesday, grilling with a goal in mind. The BBQ fundraiser was meant to raise money for the Lighthouse Coalition Neighborhood Service Center.
"In that year and a half that we went into food distribution, it opened our eyes to a lot more issues that are happening in our neighborhood," Olmos shared. The demand to do more is the reason behind the creation of the community coalition of homeless advocates, small business owners, community leaders and more.Group members shared their vision to bring online a first-of-its-kind comprehensive service center for the most vulnerable residents. One focus would be to include an Insulin Clinic for the unhoused, living with diabetes.
