The Sophia Way: Support Network Meeting

This is a welcoming community dedicated to supporting women experiencing homelessness on the Eastside. We invite anyone – whether part of a faith community, civic group, or an individual passionate about making a difference – to join this group. Members meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month to hear updates on The Sophia Way’s programs, learn about the current needs of the women we serve, and share ideas, resources, and ways to provide support. They are also encouraged to share insights with their own networks – congregations, friends, or community groups – to raise awareness and inspire collective action toward stability and empowerment.
