Our Shelter Campaign
We are partnering with the Molly & Ed Shill Cares Foundation and the Sheltering Families, Building Futures campaign to open Ontario County’s first-ever homeless shelter for families.
Volunteers are the backbone of our programs; just an hour of reading stories or helping with resumes can change lives forever.
We host events like bowling, bed races, and golf outings to raise funds, build support, and share our mission to end family homelessness.
Donating items from our wishlist directly supports families in need, providing essentials that bring comfort, stability, and hope during challenging times.
Donating money provides critical support, helping us meet urgent needs and assist families on their journey to stability and independence.
