I ShelterCare

Together, we can help 250 Lane County families.

The Problem:

Many families in our community don’t have a safe place to call home.

The Challenge:

Join us in taking action against homelessness! This October, we aim to raise $50,000 in one month to help 250 families facing homelessness. Thanks to our generous sponsors we're already half way to our goal. Help us raise the other half.

Will it make a difference?

Yes!  Homelessness is a community problem.  By stepping up, you are supporting a community solution.  Your support allows ShelterCare to provide families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness with a variety of services:

• Food, shelter, clothing, household & school supplies
• Financial assistance with rent, utilities or transportation to work
• Support in searching for jobs and affordable permanent housing
• Engagement with community resources for better health and nutrition
• Connections with school counselors and educational and job training opportunities
