Intentions Make the Difference

help us by fulfilling our wish list

Recovery from homelessness requires a community effort.  That’s why we invite the community to bring in items from our wish list.  These are common items like food, coffee, and toiletries and everything that is needed to provide a great quality of life to the men at our shelter.

life after homelessness is still hard

We bring our best effort for the men that go through our shelter.  That doesn’t mean that life suddenly gets easy when you’re done.  We periodically write articles on how to stay out of homelessness before and after it happens.  Learn more as we share our insight from decades of struggle.
