We are so grateful for the work we are a part of and the volunteers and donors who make it possible.

When the work seems daunting and never ending, we remember that Christ clearly guided our response to the darkness in Matthew 25:45 "Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’"
Together with our staff, volunteers and supporters we go forth gently and with purpose to create safe spaces for those who need us the most.
