Support Home of the Sparrow's GoFundMe Campaign and Help Sustain our Shelter, Housing and Services for Homeless Women and Children!
What: The one thing that has always been paramount to Home of the Sparrow is the people who come to Home of the Sparrow in need of shelter and housing services. Home of the Sparrow is there to serve and to ensure our services remain intact during the pandemic. Please consider supporting Home of the Sparrow’s GoFundMe Campaign at www.charity.gofundme.com/covid-19-shelter-campaign, and help us sustain our shelter, housing and services for homeless women and children in our community.
Despite serious disruptions to HOS’s daily funding streams during this pandemic (i.e. its Thrift Stores and cancellations of Spring fundraising events), HOS has kept vulnerable, homeless members of our community sheltered and cared for. As “shelter in place” restrictions loosen and stays on evictions are lifted, HOS anticipates a significant increase in need for its services, particularly among newly homeless individuals/families and individuals/families fleeing domestic violence. Additional funds are greatly needed to provide necessary affordable housing rental assistance, shelter operations, case management, and homelessness prevention services to homeless women and children.
Home of the Sparrow is hoping to raise $30,000 in support of these critical services. Your support helps keep these vital services intact to help those most vulnerable. Please spread the word with this GoFundMe Campaign. Thank you so much for your support!
When: Saturday, 9/12/20 through Monday, 10/12/20
