🎨🍲 Thank You, University of Southern Indiana Arts & Design Department 🍲🎨
We are incredibly grateful to the USI Arts & Design Department for hosting a successful Empty Bowls event at Barker Brewhouse, with proceeds donated to support our Veterans Employment Program at the James Bethel Gresham Memorial Home (Gresham House).
Because of the time, creativity, and generosity of partners like USI, the Gresham House is able to continue serving as a vital shelter and employment support space for Veterans experiencing homelessness across 11 counties in Southwest Indiana.
Thank you for standing with our Veterans and for helping open doors to stability, purpose, and opportunity.

✨ Mission Moment ✨
In the last week, six more individuals moved out of homelessness and into housing—a life-changing step toward stability, dignity, and a place to call home.
We are deeply grateful to each person who trusted us with their housing journey. That trust matters, and it’s something we never take lightly.
Thank you to our dedicated ECHO team for walking alongside individuals every step of the way, and to our partners who opened doors and helped make these placements possible. Ending homelessness happens one person at a time—and moments like this remind us why the work matters.

We are so grateful to the Extension Homemakers for spending time at Lucas Place II, bringing cookies, hot cocoa, and a whole lot of holiday cheer.
Seeing our Veterans and the children from Lucas Place come together to sing Christmas songs was a beautiful reminder of what community truly means—connection, kindness, and shared moments that matter.
Thank you for helping make the season brighter for our residents. 🎄✨

🎄✨ Celebrating the Holidays as a Team ✨🎄
At ECHO Housing & Community Development, our mission is only possible because of the incredible people behind it. This past week, we gathered at Birdies for our annual staff Christmas party to celebrate them.
From spending quality time together and exchanging gifts to playing simulator games and sharing plenty of laughs, it was a well-deserved opportunity to pause, connect, and reflect on all that our team has accomplished this year.
We are deeply grateful for our staff’s dedication, compassion, and hard work in serving our community every day. Thank you for the heart you bring to this work and for making ECHO such a special place.
Here’s to an amazing team and a season of appreciation! 🎁🎉

❄️ Extremely cold temperatures are expected this weekend. Here’s how our community can help. ❄️
During extreme cold, neighbors experiencing homelessness face serious and life-threatening risks. Small actions from the community can make a real difference.
What you can do:
Trust your instincts: If someone appears confused, unresponsive, or in distress, call 911 immediately.
Share information, not assumptions: Many people will accept help when they know options exist. A simple conversation can open the door to safety.
Offer dignity: If you choose to help directly, ask first and be respectful.
Spread the word: Sharing accurate information helps individuals access resources, including emergency shelter, much quicker.
Our homeless service partners are actively coordinating during cold weather to support safety, outreach, and pathways to shelter and housing.
For more information on emergency shelter and other resources in our community visit: echohousing.org/immediate-assistance-resources/
Thank you for being a community that looks out for one another.
