Shelter Sunday - Northampton

09/23/2026

Hello Northampton! We are thrilled to announce that Northampton Shelter Sunday is celebrating 35 incredible years of community support! This year, we're raising funds for three remarkable organizations: Manna Community Kitchen, Hampshire Support Alliance, and our newest partner, St. John's Episcopal Church. These organizations work tirelessly to care for the unhoused in our community.
In 2025, St. John's opened an emergency shelter to protect those who are shelter-resistant, especially during extreme cold. Such an incredible achievement! As we commemorate 35 years of supporting our most vulnerable neighbors, we invite you to join us in making a difference.
Our goal is to raise $30,000, to be split equally among these amazing organizations. While we each have unique roles, we all support one another and together, we strive to uplift our community. Your generous contributions will not only provide more food and essential services but also support staff who are crucial during the winter months.
Let's come together and show our support for these vital services! You can donate online at Northampton Shelter Sunday or send a check to:
