🌟 Join us in doing God's Kingdom Work! 🌟 At The Shelter Inc, we know that change starts with people like you. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every moment of your time brings us closer to achieving our mission. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world for all. Every dollar goes to providing: a bed, meal, shower, laundry, and a fresh start. That fresh start includes providing information and referrals for available local resources that may not be known or easily accessible, such as: identification documents, medical insurance, addiction recovery services, mental health services, emotional support services, cell phones, employment, transportation, and stable housing.  Program Development/Goals:The Shelter, Inc. hopes to raise $250,000 of sustainable income annually. At our previous location, we could accommodate up to 12 individuals, and we typically had an average waitlist of ten individuals at any given time. Our new facility has the capacity to house 44 individuals (22 men and 22 women) as well as three families simultaneously. Funding needs:- Building renovations required to become fully operational include HVAC, electrical, plumbing, signage, appliances, painting, and site improvements. Total cost quoted to us is $236,192. -  As our client numbers grow, we will also need to bring on additional staff. We currently have three paid staff members: one Resident Coordinator who assists our clients in meeting program goals, and two Shelter Monitors who ensure the safety of our clients and the security of the building overnight. Our current donors include churches, private citizens, and grants. We have amazing volunteers that help with bookkeeping, office duties and fundraisers that we host throughout the year. Every contribution is a blessing, much appreciated and makes a difference. We have transitioned from a grassroots organization to a growth stage, which requires capital. Investing in our mission is not just a financial commitment; it’s an opportunity to be a part of something greater by giving a hand up to those in need. We humbly ask that you partner with us on this journey. Your investment today can change lives tomorrow. We will provide a quarterly newsletter to report the impact that you are having on those who walk through our doors, the hope you are inspiring, and the futures that you are helping to make brighter. We are so excited to have you join us on this journey through your generosity. Blessings! How you can help power our mission:<ol><li style="box-sizing:inherit">Donate: Every dollar counts.
