Your gift will help build our network and help homeless families achieve lasting independence.
Day CenterThe Day Center is the families’ “home base” for taking care of personal needs and working with our Shelter Case Manager. Together, they create a case plan to find stable housing and sometimes employment. The case plan increases their likelihood of successful housing retention because it includes:
Homeless Children Thrive and GrowIn collaboration with the UC College of Medicine, this program addresses the needs of children under 13 years old (over 200 children a year). The children are assessed for developmental delays, on-going medical issues, lead exposure, anemia and immunization delay; and then therapy is initiated or a referral for services is provided.
Transportation
The Interfaith Hospitality Network bus transports the families to congregations every evening and returns them to the Day Center in the morning after breakfast. During the day we provide Van Service to take guests to and from appointments critical to their search for housing and other needs such as health care and job related services.

The method for making a gift of stock depends on how you hold the stock to be donated.
