Dover Interfaith Mission for Housing - DIMH

We have struggled to find more permanent locations for the past few years. We are excited to report that we have purchased two buildings: 1156 Walker Road will become a new shelter for women and children. 630 W. Division Street will become our resource center and affordable, supportive rental housing for those who have moved on from homelessness to stability. The shelter is relocating to Walt Bagley Hall in March. We continue to need your support! We have received grants to buy and renovate properties but need operating funds. March 2 is DO MORE 24! Please contribute on our website at www.dimh.info
