Nyeka Arnold of the Healing Project Joins Community Champions 

June 11, 2025

Nyeka Arnold is the Founder and Executive Director of The Healing Project. The Healing Project is an Austin based nonprofit providing resource navigation for underserved populations. They help individuals find resources related to transportation, housing, food, and healthcare. Other key programs of The Healing Project include a Healing Closet and Wellness program. 

In former years, Nyeka has supported local health as a Community Health Worker. Today, in addition to her work with The Healing Project, she is the Community Development Commissioner for North Austin.  

We are pleased to welcome Nyeka as a new Community Champion. She joined us at Meals on Wheels to learn more about our life-enriching programs for older adults. As a champion, Nyeka will advocate for the needs of our older adult neighbors and share our mission.
