Dear Friends, Volunteers, and Supporters,

It is with deep gratitude and heavy hearts that we share an important and emotional update about our family shelter.

After 20 years of serving homeless families with children, providing safety, stability, and hope during some of life’s most difficult moments, our beloved shelter will be closing its doors.

This decision was not made lightly. For two decades, this shelter has been more than a building — it has been a place of compassion, dignity, healing, and new beginnings. Thousands of families have passed through our doors, each carrying their own challenges, and so many leaving with renewed strength and possibility.

None of this would have been possible without you.

To our volunteers who gave their time, kindness, and hearts…

To our supporters who believed in our mission and sustained our work…

To every person who helped create a sense of home for families in crisis…

Thank you.

Your generosity and commitment transformed lives in ways that cannot be fully measured. Because of you, children had warm beds, parents found support, and families discovered hope when they needed it most.

While this chapter is coming to a close, the impact of this community will continue to live on in the families we have served and the lives we have touched together.

We will share more details in the coming weeks about the transition and ways to stay connected through the dissolution of the shelter.

With sincere appreciation and gratitude,

Staff and Board of Directors
