Types of Shelter Projects

We fund a variety of different shelter solutions for families in need. We choose each project based on funding and community needs. When you sponsor a project, we'll pair your donation with a shelter solution of an appropriate cost. These are some of our solutions and community focus:

Veteran Shelters

We care deeply about caring for veterans in honor of their service to our country and community. 

Handicap Accessibility

Ensuring various shelters have handicap accessibility is crucial for some individuals we help.

Septic Tank

This requires monthly pump-out service, to keep the facilities sanitary. Depending on number of families during a month, it requires additional pump out service twice a month.

Family Shelters

Our passion is helping families during hard times so they do not have to split up.

Shelter Maintenance

When one family moves out, we make ready for another family needing assistance. On occasion, the bed frames and mattresses need replacing as well.

Feeding The Sheltered

The Open Door Soup Kitchen feeds the families staying at the emergency shelters each day.
