We need YOUR help! 🤝🚲🚗🫂

Many individuals who come to our shelter arrive with little to no access to reliable transportation. Without gas money, a vehicle, a bike, or even funds for a ride from a transportation service like Uber, something as simple as getting from point A to point B becomes a major barrier to rebuilding their lives.

This challenge impacts nearly every step forward - whether it’s getting to work, attending a doctors appointment, or showing up for a job interview.

While we do everything we can to support our residents, we simply don’t have the resources to ensure everyone has safe, dependable transportation. That’s where our community can make a life-changing difference.

💛Here’s how you can help:
- Donate a bike, e-bike, or scooter 🚲
Items can be dropped off at 610 South Thompson Street in Carbondale

- Give to our Client Transportation Fund! 💵🚗 (link below)
Every donation goes directly toward getting survivors where they need to go

Together, we can help survivors access the opportunities and services they need to move forward - and put independence within reach. Become part of their journey today👇
