THE LOOP A COLLECTION OF STORIES FROM AROUND NEVADA
NOVEMBER 2022
ISSUE 20
Greetings from WestCare Nevada, As we continue with the daily undertaking of Uplifting the Human Spirit throughout WestCare Nevada’s programming, it is evident that at every level, there are some truly dedicated individuals and groups of individuals who willingly carry this message forward. This month’s issue of the Loop newsletter proves that by covering some important and impactful events that have taken place. WestCare Nevada had representatives in attendance at the 2022 Nevada Housing Conference where discussion took place regarding the $500 million dollars of American Rescue Plan Act funding that the state has received for affordable housing. It is our hope that WestCare Nevada will be a recipient of some of those funds which will go toward The Village at the Women and Children’s Campus (WCC). Speaking of the WCC, the second annual Burning Ceremony was conducted at the campus to not only raise awareness for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but to also allow participants the lifechanging opportunity to release (burn away) the past and make space for new beginnings. For Halloween, the Third Annual Trunk ‘R Treat event was held at WCC. The event has grown in activities for the children as well as employee participation each year and we believe that you will truly enjoy the photos that are in this issue.
VOLUME 2
This month, WestCare Foundation also sent a team of grant writers to the Grant Professionals Association’s 24th Annual Conference. When we think about WestCare as a whole and the overall expansion of services over the past 49 years, much of it wouldn’t be possible without the absolute expertise of our grant writers and our entire grants department. WestCare Nevada expresses its utmost gratitude and respect to this department for their dedication in assisting us obtain the funding we need to remain successful and at for remaining at the forefront of making a difference. Finally, WestCare Nevada was named for the 3rd consecutive year, as the honorary non-profit organization to benefit at the 2022 OPTIMA Ultimate Street Car Invitational at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Spectator entry to the event requires either a donation of non-perishable food items or a cash donation, benefiting WestCare Nevada’s transitional Living. We hope that this newsletter inspires you and we pray that the stories within it will positively impact your spirit just as it does for those of us working diligently toward benefiting the lives of others.
