Dorothy’s Place invites you to give with purpose. Through Gifts With a Purpose, you can choose a meaningful gift that provides real support for neighbors facing homelessness, from safety and transportation to basic care and hospitality.
Your gift will provide a safe place for a neighbor who is facing homelessness. You will provide a place to rest, eat a hot meal, do laundry, take a hot shower—and most importantly—feel safe.
You can provide a struggling neighbor with a warm and delicious meal as they find safe shelter and support at Dorothy’s Place. You will be providing them with a nourishing holiday meal when they need it the most.
You can provide a neighbor who is hungry with a box of emergency food customized to their needs. Whether they’re camping, or living on a tight budget with a kitchen, you can help make sure they have healthy, hearty food to eat.
Your gift will provide a peer-to-peer support group session for a neighbor who is struggling with their mental health and the challenges of homelessness. Depression, anxiety, harmful thoughts, substance use, and more are affecting our neighbors. Your gift today will help them get the support and care they need.
Your gift will provide a neighbor with the basic essential hygiene items they need every day that can be hard for them to afford. You will be providing personal care items like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tampons, pads, and more.
Your gift will provide a neighbor who is moving from living in a tent, their vehicle, or on the streets into a home with a welcome home basket. This basket is filled with items they need as they start rebuilding their life in a home.
You can provide a neighbor who is facing homelessness with a week of public transportation through a bus pass. Your gift will provide them with a reliable way of getting around town to run errands, go to appointments, and get the support they need.
Your gift will support all the work of Dorothy’s Place, providing a wide range of programs and support for thousands of neighbors each year. Whether it’s a safe place to rest, a warm meal, a hot shower, support groups, or more, your gift will make an immediate impact. Your gift will be used to help a neighbor facing homelessness wherever it’s needed most.
Can’t decide which gift will make the biggest difference? Give one of everything and extend compassion across our entire community. Each item, from a few days of safety to a hospitality basket or bus pass, your generous gift touches every corner of Dorothy’s Place.
When you give one of everything, you help ensure that every neighbor in need finds nourishment, dignity, and hope—this holiday season and beyond.
