As we prepare to open the doors of the new shelter space at Oak Hill, many community members are stepping up to help create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming place for those experiencing homelessness.
We invite you to join us in this exciting next chapter and make it feel like home for our Guests from day one!
Together, we are building more than a shelter - we are building a community.
Together, we can restore hope and end homelessness one person at a time.
Every item makes a difference. We couldn't do it without you!
