2011 Shelter House Phone-a-thon

Every year during the National Hunger & Homeless Awareness Week, Shelter House volunteers participate in the Annual Phone-a-Thon to raise funds to support shelter services during the winter months ahead.

This year we set the goal was $40,000; we have officially surpassed that goal!

Way to go everyone!  A big THANK YOU to all who participated in this wonderful fundraiser as a volunteer and as a donor.  Please be sure to thank The Java House for graciously donating gift cards and beverage cards as gifts to our donors.

More individuals and families are experiencing homelessness for the first time in their lives. With your support we can help them rebuild their lives.

This past program year:

  • 618 men, women, and children received shelter services.
  • 15% of shelter residents were military veterans.
  • 43% of shelter residents were women and children.
  • 18,437 nights of shelter were provided.

Financial contributions make a significant impact in the lives of our community’s homeless—providing a very real second chance for someone to reach a new potential—the opportunity to rebuild a life.
