WELCOMING INITIATIVES FOR SOCIAL HEALTH (WISH) is a California-based social service and social initiative organization dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations, including low-income and homeless individuals and families.
Our Vision
At WISH, we envision a future where every individual has equal access to resources, opportunities, and support, regardless of their background or circumstances. We empower communities to overcome inequalities and challenges, fostering a culture of inclusivity, compassion, and resilience. We create and implement innovative social initiatives addressing community and systemic issues that range from food insecurity, senior health, and single-parent support. Our comprehensive services identify and address unique community barriers, providing efficient solutions to improve lives.
Our Approach
WISH delivers tangible support through:
Empowering Through Information
We believe access to information is vital to improving quality of life. That’s why WISH provides social services and referrals, bridging the gap for those struggling to navigate community resources.
Our Core Values
Project Vendigo, a W.I.S.H initiative addresses food insecurity issues. Simply put, this project is about installing vending machines in communities where access for food 24×7 is necessary
W.I.S.H. provides food assistance services including groceries and toiletries to individuals and families in-need.
W.I.S.H is able to provide in-need families with a wide array of baby products, toiletries, and family niceties,
We provide a wide range of mental health services and referrals to address our client’s mental health needs.
W.I.S.H. provides needy individuals and families access to transportation thru monthly public transportation TAP cards.
W.I.S.H. provides a number of referral-based housing resources for locating housing.
In our rapidly evolving society, the plight of seniors has become increasingly concerning. The 2019 report “The Emerging Crisis of Aged Homelessness” alarmingly indicates that seniors represent the fastest-growing homeless demographic, a situation anticipated to intensify if we don’t take immediate action. In response to this critical need, we’ve created a comprehensive guide that serves as a lifeline for seniors and their families navigating these challenging circumstances.
The easily accessible guide provides pragmatic solutions, empowering seniors and their families to secure emergency housing, obtain financial assistance, and explore rapid rehousing options. Please visit this link to review our resource: https://www.caring.com/caregivers/emergency-housing-guide/.
WISH is formally partnering with Caring to help out seniors!
As a grassroots community-based organization, W.I.S.H.’s goal is to help the homeless, and low-income population build self-integrity and live a better quality of life by providing the services they most need; services that are tangible, and effective. We also aim to create, and implement solution-based initiatives that address community, and social issues.
By targeting the most acute issues within the community like mental health, SUD, physical health, and lack of sustainable housing we can provide a consistent focus of support for everyone we come in contact with, and every social solution-based initiative we embark on.
At WISH, we’re committed to creating positive change in California’s vulnerable populations. Together, let us build a brighter future.
