Great Group Project!

Are you part of a faith community, school or business that wants to help a family move out of homelessness?  Do you have a group of friends who are ready to make a big impact?  Adopting a Family is a way to make an immediate, critical impact in the life of one of our families.  


Here's how it works:


  1. Sign up to adopt a family by clicking on the button below.
  2. We pair your group with a family who enters our shelter and your group starts collecting apartment essentials.  You will know the ages and genders of the family and have a picture of the family to share with your volunteers.  A representative from your group will be able to come meet the family here at our shelter.
  3. We will notify your group when the family has a move-out date.  
  4. Your group meets the family at their new apartment to deliver your donations!


Please Note: Groups need a healthy dose of flexibility to work with our families as they work through the crisis of homelessness!

Let us know you'd like to Adopt a Family!
