HELP BUILD OUR SHELTER FULL OF HOPES AND DREAMS!
Your donation today will help us start our remodel of Interfaith Sanctuary’s new reimagined shelter! With all of the funding that has been committed to our project, we look great on paper, but much of that funding will come into our account at the start of the new year. Right now, we have $3.2 million in our construction account, but we need $5.4 million to get the ball rolling!
Your donation will make that happen. Give today and be a part of the SOLUTION!
Your donation will help build:
– A shelter that offers 24/7 access to all 205 of our guests, creating a safe and stable space for healing, learning, recovering, and thriving
– A family building offering private family rooms with 96 beds, plus room for cribs
– A medical dorm offering 22 beds and 2 hospice rooms, allowing us to bring home health and hospice care to our most medically fragile
– A Micron Community WorkForce Classroom, providing on-site learning in partnership with CWI, offering GED, Construction and Megatronix training
– A commercial food service training kitchen where guests will get job training, while also helping to prepare and serve three meals a day to guests
– A safe haven for senior citizens who have been displaced from their housing and assisted care facilities
– A playground, park, and play area where kids can be kids
– A space that offers on-site recovery and mental health programming, case management, housing services, art, music, writing, early education, and a community of support, all under one roof!
Thank you for having faith in Interfaith Sanctuary!
“The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable.”

Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter by day is a home to second chances for our unemployed, our mentally fragile, and our friends struggling with addiction. Our building is a sanctuary of learning, recovering, growing, creating and moving forward towards a better life.
Interfaith Sanctuary Hotel Shelter is home to preschool learning, parenting classes, case management support, housing services, and nutritional support. It is also home to our senior homeless population where finally our medically fragile have a safe space to be all day and the ability to receive care and support. Your donation supports both shelter locations and all of these wonderful programs:
FAMILY PROGRAM: This program includes family case management, medical and mental health support, transportation to appointments, kids’ activities, group and one-on-one support, and our Educational Program for kids of all ages.
