HELP US FILL OUR GAP!
It has been a long and winding road but we are getting so close to beginning construction on our new shelter! With amazing donors and partners we have raised over 12 million in dollars and pledges. We currently have a gap of $500,000 in cash donations. Our goal is to raise this amount by April 1st to keep our construction schedule in place.
We are so grateful to you all for helping us get this far. Just one more push now will get the work started to create a new shelter that will bring so much safety, comfort, support and opportunity to those who are without a home. Help us build our shelter full of hopes and dreams by filling our gap today!

GET TO KNOW INTERFAITH SANCTUARY
Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter by day is a home to second chances for our unemployed, our mentally fragile, and our friends struggling with addiction. Our building is a sanctuary of learning, recovering, growing, creating and moving forward towards a better life.
Interfaith Sanctuary Hotel Shelter is home to preschool learning, parenting classes, case management support, housing services, and nutritional support. It is also home to our senior homeless population where finally our medically fragile have a safe space to be all day and the ability to receive care and support. Your donation supports both shelter locations and all of these wonderful programs:
FAMILY PROGRAM: This program includes family case management, medical and mental health support, transportation to appointments, kids’ activities, group and one-on-one support, and our Educational Program for kids of all ages.
PROJECT RECOVERY: Our on-site addiction recovery program, supported through a partnership with TRIVIUM, offers guests group and one-on-one counseling; art and music therapy; fitness and nutrition classes; and a community of support.
PROJECT WELL BEING: This program offers mental health support, art therapy; fitness and meditation classes; counseling, and med management. Guests also have the opportunity to contribute to our guest-driven newspaper “Word on the Street,” which has a monthly circulation of 30,000.
