Celebrating Community & Generosity!

We’re proud to share that Teresa Stephens, Heather Winn, and Johnathan McCalister, Community Manager for Lady Gloria Ridge, attended the annual Nourish and Nest Fundraising Dinner in support of Haywood Street Housing.

It was a sold-out evening hosted by Chai Pani and Curate, and thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, Haywood Street raised $100,000! These funds will help create deeply affordable, community-driven housing and put the finishing touches on the Lady Gloria Ridge community.

Together, we’re building spaces that empower lives and foster belonging.
