The Bill Wilson Center celebrated its 50th year of saving lives

The Bill Wilson Center celebrated its 50th year of saving lives at a gala fundraising event on May 19 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. The audience witnessed testimonials from several young women and men who maybe 6-8 years earlier were living on the streets without a home, suffering from addiction or depression, or maybe pregnant without a family or friends to help.
