As on former client stated, "The program at The Healing Place saved my life and allowed me to reunite with my family. This anniversary celebration not only allows me to personally say thank you to The Healing Place, it allows all of us to celebrate the positive impact this program continues to have on our community. Without The Healing Place, there would simply be more homeless individuals on our streets."
