Holy Family Home and Shelter, a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church, needs your help as we continue serving Jesus in the least of our brothers and sisters. Will you help us continue this valued and life-saving ministry?

SCMC Sheltering Families Fund

“I assure you, as often as you did it for one of my least brothers and sisters, you did it for me.”

Every day we provide safe shelter, three nutritious meals a day, necessary clothing, vital laundry facilities and essential personal hygiene items for the children and adults who reside in our 28 beds home.

We also get children into schools, help mothers and fathers needing jobs, provide experienced staff who can locate important family documents that have been lost or misplaced, educate residents in the areas of budgeting and parenting skills, and assist with identifying treatment services for family members when needed. And we do all this as we offer a safe and secure temporary residence to homeless Moms, their children, and even entire families until more stable housing can be found.

This ministry of the Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church has cared for the hungry and the homeless since 1989. Will you help us continue to provide hope and safety to our brothers and sisters in need? We cannot do it without you.

Honoring your Charity

Previously, thanks to your kindness, we raised enough funds to cover 12 Full Room Renovations at our shelter.

This year, help us keep our doors open to families in need.

With the Sisters, YOU can turn lives around for the better!

Currently the Shelter is full, caring for 28 people, 14 children ranging in age from 3 weeks to 11 years, two single women over 65 years of age and a wheelchair-bound Mom who has a mentally challenged son.

Your goodness and caring assistance, provide these poor and needy families with safe housing, nutritious meals and adequate clothing. The Shelter is the only one in our area that accepts families.  You make it possible for these families to stay together and help provide the needed structure so the children are able to go to school.

You can help ensure that this continues.
