Hope in the Heartland: Wichita’s Quest to End Homelessness is a documentary film produced for Project HOPE that shines a light on the complex issue of homelessness in Wichita. It follows the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness, the tireless efforts of organizations providing support, and the impact of homelessness on our community. The film aims to foster understanding, empathy, and inspire action to address this critical issue. Hope in the Heartland will premiere at this year's Tallgrass Film Festival, screening at 4 p.m. on Thursday, October 24 at the Mary Jane Teall Theatre in Century II. There will be a Q&A with the filmmakers and subjects after the premiere on October 24. Tickets are available at https://bit.ly/3U9d2gK. Learn more about Project HOPE at https://bit.ly/3Y7wwDr.

Water is a finite resource. It's up to all of us to conserve it and secure it for future generations. Everyday behaviors can have a big impact and it can start on your lawn. ?? Your lawn only needs 1 to 1.5 inches of water/week, varying by grass type. ?? Water before 10 a.m. and only water once a week ?? Don't water so long that it runs down the street or on the sidewalk https://lnkd.in/gKdAdJmn
