The truth of it all - we can’t continue to keep our doors open without a community rallied around us. As we continue to serve our friends in need, we turn to you - our community - to link arms as we help those who need it most. Whether it is a $25 one-time donation, $5 a month, a case of water, a box of blankets, or even just the share of a post on Facebook, every little bit matters.
