Our participation in Dancing with Our Stars to raise funds for South Bend Center for the Homeless is a way for enFocus to support an organization that uplifts individuals to strengthen our surrounding community. The Center offers access to resources and brings people together to discover their worth and potential. As we learn our dance and prepare to perform for the event, your vote will contribute to maintaining, continuing, and expanding services that will benefit individual lives at a local level.
The Center is more than a shelter for residents, it meets guests where they are to provide resources for early childhood intervention, veterans, emergencies, food and dining, adult education, career services, afterschool programming, and more. The programming helps residents improve their quality of life through a communal effort to connect them to resources to break the cycle of homelessness.
Recently, enFocus staff and Fellows visited the Center to learn about their services. Alicia Einfalt, enFocus Regional Internship Manager, was a part of the visit and articulates the expansiveness of The Center and what they offer to residents. She shares, “The Center for the Homeless was incredibly welcoming to us, and showed us the great services they offered the community. I was really inspired by their adult education and career courses. It really gives individuals a pathway to create and develop their skills and reenter the workforce.”
Your votes don’t just help our dancing feet, the funds raised will provide sustenance to the Center’s helping hands. A $45 vote will help approximately 18 people access the services they need to overcome homelessness and build a brighter future.

Supporting our team as they dance in this year’s Dancing with Our Stars will go beyond the ballroom, and will contribute to the programs that are giving people hope to advance their lives. At enFocus, we are committed to providing hands-on, tangible impact. After more than a decade of participating in Dancing With Our Stars, we know that the South Bend Center for the Homeless is just as committed as we are to providing access and opportunity to those living in the South Bend-Elkhart community. Please join us in our mission to strengthen our community by voting today.
