Footprints in the heart 2023

Pennies for the Homeless presents the Diane dal Santo & Joseph Saavedra Footprints in the Heart Award to an individual and/or organization that has demonstrated outstanding dedication to addressing homelessness and support for the unhoused.

This year’s award goes to Julie Morgas Baca, Bernalillo County Manager, and the county for their ongoing support for the Tiny Home Village, developed to provide housing and programs for the homeless. The Village is beaming at full capacity, and continues to help address the challenge of homelessness in our community and give unhoused individuals hope for the future.

Bernalillo Couty has continued to provide the highest level of support for the Pennies for the Homeless High Tea and Fashion Show. Thanks to the generous support of donors and sponsors, the event proceeds continue to support many homeless service providers.
