Help Us Walk Alongside Those Most In Need

While summer might seem like a quiet season for shelter work, our shelters in Eau Claire, La Crosse, and Wausau continue to be a vital refuge for many of our neighbors. Extreme heat, unstable weather, and economic strain are bringing more guests through our doors than ever before. Many of them are the working poor—holding jobs but still unable to afford a place to live.
