Help for the Homeless

Serve If You Can. Get Help If You Need It.

“When we allow ourselves to feel what others feel, we begin to see them not as issues to solve but as people to love.”

On January 18th, we were blessed to host a panel of those who serve unhoused individuals and families. Many of you have asked how you can help the organizations that serve thousands of people in our community during their greatest time of need. You’ll find details below — and can watch the panel share their perspective, proximity, and compassion.
