“Donors don’t give to institutions. They invest in ideas and people in whom they believe.”
G.T. Smith

We are blessed with wonderful in-kind (non cash) donation support from individuals, groups, businesses and corporate sponsors.   However we do have a relatively small operating budget that requires cash funding that supports our programs to provide homeless men, women, youth, children and families with food, clothing, shelter, and street outreach services.

We have been able to furnish the homeless throughout the state with nearly $2.7 million worth of outdoor gear, outdoor basic clothing, non perishable food, and hygiene items in the past four years.

You can help us in one of 3 ways (scroll down the page to see details for each):
