and a larger child care facility

Vision House, a local non-profit providing transitional housing and support services to homeless moms, dads and kids, is hosting a breakfast event to save lives and rescue families from homelessness in the greater Seattle area.

The benefit breakfast will be held on Tuesday, October 23, 2018 from 7:00 – 8:30am at the Lynnwood Convention Center, 3711 196th St SW, Lynnwood.

Dr. Gregory Jantz, Ph.D., world-renowned expert on depression, anxiety, abuse and addiction will be the guest speaker. He has appeared on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox and CNN while also being a best-selling author of 37 books. Dr. Jantz will speak on the struggles homeless families experience with anxiety and depression and how that affects their ability to find stable housing and leave homelessness for good.

Cristine, a mother who graduated from the transitional housing program, will also be speaking about her difficult experience being homeless and how she was able to change her life by living at Vision House. She will encourage event guests to donate to help other homeless moms and kids that have yet to be reached.

The breakfast is open to the public and free to attend. Parking is free.
