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? Sponsoring a Family is a way to make an immediate, critical impact in the life of one of our families.
Here's how it works:
- Sign up to Sponsor a family by clicking on the button below.
- Let us know the month and size of the family you want to sponsor. We'll send you a wish list to get started collecting apartment essentials right away.
- As soon as one of the families in our shelter who meets your requirements secures an apartment, we'll match you! 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 to discuss any special needs.
- We will notify your group when the family has a move-out date. Usually this will be only a few weeks after you are matched.
- 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!
