Ways to Give
One-time or Monthly Giving
You can make a one-time or monthly donation to help us sustain our mission and provide help to those who need it in the Washington, DC area.
Through our Monthly Giving Campaign, you can help us support the basic needs of our clients seeking refuge from homelessness and addiction. The basic needs we sometimes take for granted are considered prized possessions for those who have nothing. To participate, you can have a specific amount automatically charged to your credit card every month. Just select the Donate button below, and check the recurring donation box.
Your impact starts here. When you make a donation, you’re sending help and hope to people at their time of need.

$1,000 Provides 125 meals in one of our residential treatment programs.
$500 Provides rent for one month for a client in transitional living.
