November 1 – December 15, 2025
Every night, over 2,700 people in our city face the cold, uncertainty, and loneliness of life on the streets. This holiday season, we have the chance to change that story. When schools, businesses, churches, and families come together, hope becomes possible. Will you join us?
Our BIG Goal: Raise $500,000
Every donation helps provide much-needed shelter, essential services, and a pathway toward long-term stability. Here’s how much rest and nourishment your donation will provide for someone in need:
$50 – one night
$350 – one week
$1,550 – one month
$6,200 – one season
