Put a Leaf on the Friendship House Tree of Life

The construction costs for Friendship House, a transitional residence for people moving from homelessness back into a place of productivity in society, has already been provided. However, the cost of landscaping, the money-saving solar electrical generating system, the appliances (washer, and dryer or the laundry area, refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave oven and hot water heater for the kitchen, are not yet covered. These costs add up to $33,000.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED & SERVE THE HOMELESS

Since homeless persons can be reluctant to leave the streets and accept emergency shelter or transitional housing, we operate transition centers — places where homeless youth or adults can get off the streets and find a temporary safe haven. And often, when homeless persons begin to trust drop-in center staff, they agree to leave the streets and enter transitional or permanent housing.

  • WaterThe summers are hot and bottled water is an essential need for survival
  • FoodTransition center provides daily food
  • Homewe provide housing assistance when needed.
  • CareSpending time and providing mentoring to those individuals we serve
