This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave individuals who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is a powerful reminder of the strength of community and the difference we can make when we support those facing hardship.🇺🇸

At Shelter House, we see that spirit of compassion every day through the generosity and care of people like you. Your support helps individuals and families experiencing homelessness and domestic violence find safety, stability, and hope.

As you spend time with loved ones or take a quiet moment to reflect this weekend, we wish you a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. Together, we are !

🐶 If you love animals and are looking for a way to help vulnerable populations, becoming a foster volunteer to help house an animal while their owner is in shelter might be the way to go. 🐱 Volunteer Voices recently sat down with Chloe White, community engagement manager at Shelter House, to talk with Domestic and Sexual Violence Services’ long-time partner about this unique program. This is an excerpt from that conversation: https://bit.ly/4sd8kNs.
