Thank you for your generous support of the Center for the Homeless!

            

 

The Center is a registered 501(c)3 organization and all gifts are tax deductible. One of the realities that we face each day at the Center for the Homeless is the challenge of raising money. Helping the homeless requires individuals like you to make a commitment to help those among us who are in the greatest need. This is particularly true at the Center, where less than 20% of our annual budget comes from government grants. You can make an online contribution to the Center right now using your credit card by clicking on the following credit card logo banner:

 





Or, if you prefer, you may mail a check via U.S. Post to the following address:
