This Thanksgiving, we are especially grateful for our donors, volunteers, business partners, and every individual who makes Benjamin’s House possible. Your support allows us to provide safety, stability, and hope to those experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, domestic violence, and unexpected crises.
Thanks to your generosity, this year we have:
- Operated at full capacity with 20 shelter rooms
- Maintained 5 Continued Care Housing units at full capacity, with a goal of expanding to 6 units by year’s end
- Served more than 150 individuals and 40 children
- Responded to more than 560 calls for shelter, with leading reasons including but not limited to eviction, chronic homelessness, family disputes, domestic violence, housing affordability and/or housing availability, and more unexpected crises.
It is because of all forms of support — volunteer time, in-kind donations, financial gifts, and advocacy — that Benjamin’s House can continue to meet rising needs and provide vital services to those who need it most.
We are particularly grateful this season to a private donor, who has pledged to match all donations up to $100,000. This support will help us update our failing heating system to ensure rooms remain available this winter, and maintain enough hot water to support stability and continued care, and so much more.
