Drives

Adopt a Resident

Each year the residents complete a wish list of items they need/would like to receive. For many of the men this is the first time in years that they have received a gift.  A wish list of desired items is provided; you may then purchase items from the list.  We request you wrap the items and drop off the items mid-December.

Share a Meal

Prepare and share a meal with residents – it is a great opportunity to fellowship with some of the men. 

OR

Join us for a Dessert Night (you bring the dessert and we will provide the drinks) and fellowship.

 Adopt an Apartment Program

Homeless families entering permanent housing have few possessions. Congregations, corporations, and community groups adopt an apartment by furnishing these homes for incoming residents.  See our wish list for residents establishing a new home.
