LXCL:WhenWeLove serves youth, single-parent families and Veterans experiencing and recovering from homelessness. We believe homelessness should be short term and temporary, and we are teaching people how to Beat Homelessness. Beyond serving immediate needs (food, water, clothing, etc.) we use a relational approach that builds trust, restores dignity and hope as we walk with people on their journey of healing, recovery and self sufficiency.

Meet Annelise Gruebmeyer - Continuing a Twelve‑Year Tradition of Hope and HydrationAnnelise has always had a heart for people experiencing homelessness. From a very young age, it would nearly break her heart whenever she saw someone without a place to call home. She would often ask her parents thoughtful, heartfelt questions, trying to understand why people didn&rsquo;t have a home and wondering what could be done to help. Her compassion has never been about feeling sorry for others,&nbsp;it has always been about wanting to make a difference.Over the years, Annelise has put that compassion into action by serving in ministries at her church that focus on caring for people experiencing homelessness. These experiences have deepened her desire to serve others with kindness, dignity, and love.Now, Annelise is honored to continue the Annual Water Drive that Drew Thomas faithfully led for the past 12 years. Inspired by Drew&rsquo;s example of serving others with kindness and purpose, she is committed to carrying this meaningful tradition forward by helping provide one of life&rsquo;s most basic necessities,&nbsp;clean drinking water&nbsp;to our neighbors experiencing homelessness.Every bottle of water represents more than hydration; it is a reminder that someone cares. Annelise hopes this annual drive will continue to bring our community together to share hope, compassion, and practical support with those who need it most.Join Annelise and the When We Love community in making a difference. Together, we can continue this incredible legacy and ensure that our neighbors experiencing homelessness have access to clean drinking water during the hottest months of the year.<a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/c5a7df72-1ae4-4e44-8b4b-c05177d25cd9" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">DONATE TODAY</a> and HELP US HYDRATE the HOMELESS! #TogetherWeDoMore

12th Annual Drew Thomas Water Drive Carried on by Annelise

A Place Where Hope Is Restored, Healing Is Found, and Futures Are Reclaimed Every day, we meet people facing homelessness, poverty, addiction, family separation, job loss, and life-altering setbacks. While immediate assistance is important, lasting change requires more than a meal, a bus pass, or a temporary solution. People need a place where they can find encouragement, support, guidance, and opportunities to build a better future. That is why we are creating the Dream Center Fort Worth. With the property already secured, we are launching a campaign to transform this facility into a centralized hub of hope and restoration where individuals and families can access practical resources, life-changing support, and pathways toward long-term stability. The Dream Center will expand our current outreach programs while creating new opportunities for people to overcome barriers, reconnect with community, and move forward with dignity and purpose. The Dream Center Will Include:Recovery &amp; Restoration CenterFamily Resource CenterEmployment Services Opportunity HubOutreach Operations CenterResource Navigation &amp; Support Services...and more Why the Dream Center Matters Homelessness is about far more than the absence of housing.Many people experiencing homelessness are also facing transportation barriers, unemployment, family breakdown, addiction, isolation, trauma, or a lack of support systems. These challenges often make it difficult to find a clear path forward. The Dream Center Fort Worth will bring services, support, relationships, and opportunities together in one place&mdash;creating a welcoming environment where people can find practical help, encouragement, and hope for the future. Our vision is simple:A community where homelessness is temporary, stability is within reach, and every person has a pathway to a brighter future. Every Gift Makes a Difference.
