The Wishing Tree project has brought our communities closer through shared messages of hope and resilience, but Wishing Trees have also given voice to the injustices and inequality impacting our neighbors. In response to recent wishes of this nature, the Wishing Tree community partners posted at each tree a list of food, housing, and mental health resources.

Listed below are links to these local and national resources. Please share and use as we support each other.
