“We are excited to collaborate with so many incredible organizations in the greater Coachella Valley area to show support and camaraderie for each other,” says Joel Vendette, Home for a Home Executive Director. “It’s crucial for smaller organizations, like Home for a Home, to join forces with others to build a stronger presence and ultimately more impact.
