Happy Holidays & New Year!
Thanksgiving & Christmas Eve!

Warmest thank you to Costco (Oxnard) and to so many generous donors this Winter! Your support helped us provide Christmas Eve dinners to clients at not only our shelter but all our temporary, transitional & permanent housing locations. Special thanks to Turning Point staff Edwin & Angel for delivery and distribution of everything.

Another huge thanks to all our staff & supporters. Those who have given & those who are able to give. Vons (Ventura Harbor Village), shown on left, helped provide full Thanksgiving Dinners this year as well!

Happy New Year!
We look forward to serving our community in 2024 and having you all be such an important part of it.
