How You Can Help

Your help makes a big difference.

You can help insure that twenty-four hours a day, every day of the year up to thirty-five men, women and children seeking temporary, emergency food and shelter have a safe haven, a warm bed and nutritious meals.

The single mother with children and nowhere to go, the man who was laid off from work, the abused woman seeking safety - all need your help.

Won’t you join the growing number of generous donors who make a big difference in the lives of others and rekindle the flame for a brighter future?

Yes, I want to Make a Difference!

Thank you.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame with us.

Albert Schweitzer
