We need duffle bags! We have a family of 4 taking the bus back to Illinois to reunite with family this Friday. If you have any old duffle bags they could use for their trip, please drop them off to the shelter by Friday at noon! THANK YOU!

Our first family (since we have opened back up) has graduated from our program and found a home after only 33 days!!! We are so excited for them and their new journey. We do have a couple of needs to help them feel comfortable in their new home... cutting knives, microwave, toaster, dish towels, shower curtain, and vacuum. If you have any of these items to spare, please send us a PM or call us at 771-3007.

Fun Fall Activity This past Saturday morning was SO fun! Rachel hosted a Fall sign making craft and it definitely kicked the season off right for us. We are so grateful to work with our community to support our families to the best of our ability. If you are interested in hosting a morning activity, fill out the volunteer form on our website

Thank you Sarah and Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, Orchard Park, New York for decorating our porch for the fall! We love our pumpkins!!!

Need fulfilled!!! Thank you to everyone who reached out. We appreciate all you do!!! We have an urgent need please... we have 2 past families that are struggling with food. We were hoping to get some donated food for these families to hold them over as we direct them to Food Banks in their area and help them navigate their SNAP applications. They have plenty of canned goods, but are in need of fresh foods (bread, milk, eggs, butter, cheese, meat, vegetables, fruit). If anyone is interested in helping out, please give us a call before 5pm today at 716-771-3007 so we can coordinate.
