Join likehearted attendees for an immersive evening of nourishing food, conversations that matter and meaningful solutions at Community Connections: Key to Resolving Homelessness, a dinner benefit and panel discussion on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at the nonprofit 1440 Multiversity campus in Scotts Valley.

The event will also launch a new partnership between Miracle Messages and Housing Matters/Community Action Board that is focused on bringing Miracle Messages services to Santa Cruz County, directly supporting people experiencing homelessness.
