Please Help

Our need right now is great. We just learned that one of our largest funding sources is being cut. This reduction of funding will hurt the lives of the young people we serve. Please don’t let this happen. Read more.

 
 
Save a Young Person This Christmas!  

This Christmas season we are asking you to help us keep our doors open so that young people like Stephanie have a sanctuary to find safety and warmth. Snow has already started falling, and freezing temperatures will be part of Michigan life until late March. The scary part is that over 3,000 kids in the Metro Detroit area alone don’t have a place to call home. Like Stephanie, they’ll be thankful to find a shelter that blocks the wind while praying they remain safe throughout the night.

That’s why we need your help now. We need support to provide shelter, a warm bed, and three hot meals a day.

DONATE NOW to provide home for Michigan's young people
 
 
Over 400 candles of hope...  

Thank you to everyone who attended the vigil, raised money, and collected items to help our young people. More than 400 people lit candles, proclaiming their desire to end youth homelessness and raise awareness of the tragedy.

The Morning X Report  

A big thank you to The Morning X show on 88.7 FM. Dave auctioned his infamous snowflake sweater to a listener for $1,850 and donated the proceeds to help our kids!

Let's see this ugly sweater...
