🎀💕 WE WORE PINK FOR A PURPOSE! 💕🎀

What a wonderful morning of BINGO, fellowship, fun, and awareness! 💗

The Selma Housing Authority proudly hosted our “Wear Pink” Bingo event at the Rangedale Community Center in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🎗️

The morning was filled with laughter, exciting prizes, and meaningful moments as we came together to raise awareness and show support for those impacted by breast cancer.

💕 One of the most special moments was recognizing and celebrating our BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS! 💪🏽🎀 Your courage, strength, resilience, and inspiring journeys remind us that there is HOPE beyond the diagnosis. We honor you, celebrate you, and stand with you!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to our SHA Resident Services Director, Beverly Blackmon and team for organizing this wonderful event and to everyone who joined us to make it a success!

🎀 Early Detection Saves Lives. Awareness Matters. Survivors Inspire Us. 🎀

At the Selma Housing Authority, we believe building stronger communities means caring for one another, not just through housing, but through hope, health, and heartfelt connections! 💗

Who "We Are?

“WE ARE” a compassionate organization! 

Compassion involves feeling another person’s pain and wanting to take steps to help relieve their suffering. It is related to other emotions such as sympathy, empathy, and altruism, although the concepts have some key differences. Empathy refers more to the general ability to take another person’s perspective and feel the emotions of others. Compassion, on the other hand, is what happens when those feelings of empathy are accompanied by the desire to help.
