especially our two shelters for homeless families. Please consider
making a donation of any size to ShelterCare today.

In-kind Donations
All our programs rely on in-kind donations from the community
throughout the year. Families leaving Brethren Housing or Family
Housing Programs for new housing are often sent with their bedding,
towels, pots and pans, and other kitchen supplies to help them get
started, so supplies at these shelters must be regularly replenished.
