Early Thanksgiving Dinner

Dwelling at the Well (The Well) would like to invite those experiencing homelessness and substance use addiction AND their families,  in the west side communities that we serve, to come out and enjoy a family-focused, sit down, traditional, home-cooked holiday meal with us. We know the holiday season is particularly challenging and we want to encourage you, support you, advocate for you, and feed you. We promise, it will be a wonderful night full of hugs, laughter, music, giveaways, and fun.  So please, if you haven't seen your kids or your family members in a while, take this opportunity to reach out and invite them to this event - make plans to spend your part of your holidays at The Well.
