Visibility
Visibility is important in order to get the support we need to achieve our mission. One of the quickest and most effective ways you can help is to hook up to our social media and consistently share our mission, message, events, and fundraising information. This helps us become visible and present to those who can directly support us, whether that is financially, through donations, or through other means of support.
Sharing on socials helps others find us, especially those in the LGBTQIA+ community who need recovery housing or other support. It also helps spread the word so that people and organizations with the ability to financially support our mission can get connected with us. Networking helps us find and establish community connections and partnerships, as well as locate grant opportunities that align with our mission. This happens when you introduce us to your network of people and professionals!
Fundraising
All donations go directly to the bottom line of assistance for our residents through housing assistance, basic needs assistance, and working directly with our staff to find the individualized care necessary to have the best chance of sustainable and safe recovery. We are currently working hard to expand our programs for our residents but we can't do that alone! You can also help us raise funds by purchasing one of our custom shirt designs!
