Christmas Greetings from Eden


“The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” These words of Jesus summarized his life here on earth; both in terms of how it started and throughout his ministry. One of the compelling parts of the Christmas story is the actions of the innkeeper who offered shelter and warmth to Mary and Joseph. His was a simple but meaningful gesture.
Safe and warm shelter is fundamental to all of us. This basic fact has compelled the Eden organization to become involved in building and supporting safe, affordable housing for some of the most marginalized individuals and families in our communities; those who struggle with mental illness, challenging relationships, limited incomes or significant employment barriers. Within the context of affordable and stable housing, lives can be rebuilt and individuals can be brought back into community.
As we journey through the Christmas season, let us remember the gift of shelter and hospitality. Your gift to the Eden Foundation will help ensure that those of us living with mental health concerns will have access to safe, affordable housing and the supports necessary to thrive. Join us in becoming that welcoming and engaging community that ensures no one is forgotten.

Peace and Joy.
