Help our Family Shelter with Everyday Essentials!

Our shelter is currently in need of basic personal care items to support the families and individuals staying with us.

Every donation, big or small, helps us create a sense of dignity and normalcy for the families we serve.

If you can donate, please drop off items at 2022 Broad Ave, Altoona.

Thank you for supporting our community and helping our shelter guests feel at home!
