  • Tim League on Family, Homelessness and, of course, Cinema

    Tim League is the founder and CEO of the Alamo Drafthouse, and has been a strong advocate of Community First! Village since its beginning. His unexpected exposure to issues involving homelessness came by way of his professional journey and his desire to create a unique - even transformative - moviegoing experience. Tim shares about his path in life marked by positive family relationships, crisis, failure and his focus on trying to lead with kindness in all that he does.

  • My Friend, Emily, and the Gift of New Relationships
    Emily Seals has been living in Community First! Village for two years, though many folks likely still remember her as the kind, white-haired panhandler who often flew a sign at the corner of Loop 360 and Bee Caves Road in Austin. She survived a past full of abuse and significant trauma, and ultimately ended up living on the streets for more than a decade. When a stranger rolled down his window one day and asked Emily her name, she unknowingly took her first steps into a restorative journey and the security of a new friendship.

  • Meagan McCoy Jones and the Power of Showing Up

    Mobile Loaves & Fishes is an extraordinarily relational ministry, and Meagan McCoy Jones truly exemplifies the transformational impact that relationships can have on family, business and serving others. A fourth-generation owner of McCoy's Building Supply, her life has been profoundly influenced by the will of her parents to cling to their faith and push through a crisis they encountered in their marriage when she was younger. As a result, Meagan has a deeper understanding behind what she calls the "power of showing up."

  • Meet my Neighbor, Bonnie
    My friend Bonnie Durkee is used to making her presence known at Community First! Village. A mostly blind, diabetic amputee, it's not uncommon to find her in conversation or trading friendly jabs with neighbors as she rolls around the neighborhood in her wheelchair. Bonnie is also incredibly resilient, as demonstrated by the number of storms she has faced and overcome in life. Her desire to conduct herself as a person of integrity – in a way that would make her father proud – is truly admirable.

  • John Paul DeJoria on Business, Philanthropy and the H/P Ratio

    After experiencing a childhood of poverty and his own encounters with homelessness in early adulthood, John Paul DeJoria is recognized as one of the greatest entrepreneurs and philanthropists in our country. He also exemplifies what Alan Graham likes to refer to as the Heart-Over-Pocket or H/P Ratio. From an early job as a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman to his role as co-founder of the Paul Mitchell line of hair products and also Patron tequila, John Paul lives by a key mantra - "Success unshared is total failure."

    Tracy Krause is a brave woman who understands what it takes to survive.

She now knows without a doubt that the people you surround yourself with have a significant impact on your path in life. Tracy's journey has led her to Community First! Village, where for once she feels like her dignity is being restored and her soul redeemed. Her story culminates with an overwhelming sense of joy and healing when she experiences the familiar comfort of a hug from another loving individual.
