END OF YEAR CAMPAIGN

Introducing A Place to Call Home,  our 2026 End-of-Year Giving Campaign, bringing our community together to create opportunities for individuals and families experiencing homelessness.

Our goal is to raise $350,000 by December 31, 2026, supporting the essential programs and services that help individuals become healthy, employed, and housed.

From providing basic necessities and emergency shelter to creating employment opportunities and pathways to permanent housing, every contribution helps us move closer to our goal and brings more individuals closer to a place they can call home

Everyone deserves a place to call home, and you can help make that happen
