Where the value goes
See exactly what your gift pays for.
Chosen because they are where a modest amount of money changes an outcome rather than merely softening it. We also share funding, equipment and supplies with other 501(c)(3) organizations doing work we cannot do ourselves.
Housing & shelter
Transitional housing and emergency shelter for families with nowhere else to go.
Direct family relief
Rent, utilities, a funeral, a car repair — the bill that turns one bad month into a crisis.
Medical assistance
Treatment costs, travel to hospital, and the expenses no household budget anticipates.
Children & youth
After-school and summer programs for kids whose families cannot cover them.
Education & the arts
Equipment, materials and access for schools, libraries and community programs.
Animal welfare & wildlife
Rescue, shelter and rehabilitation work that is chronically underfunded.
Urgent transportation
Getting people to work, to treatment, or away from a situation they need to leave.
Veterans & global partners
Adaptive housing, mobility equipment and vocational support, plus supplies shared with partner charities here and abroad.
