3) Make a Donation — Shop our wish list of essential items for our clients or make a financial gift to support DRMM’s life-changing programs and services.

World Homeless Day: Homelessness Should Never Become Someone’s Identity

On World Homeless Day, October 10, we want to reflect on the importance of our work and the lives we touch every day.

At DRMM, we believe in serving the body, soul, and spirit—providing more than shelter and resources. We help individuals and families find hope, rebuild their lives, and move toward a brighter future.

We invite you to read our President & CEO Dr. Chad Audi’s message and join us in challenging the stigma surrounding homelessness. Together, we can remind our neighbors that they are valued, seen, and never defined by their circumstances.
