The hardest step is often the first one. Asking for help, trying again, or believing that tomorrow can be better takes real courage.

If you would like to help families find the courage to take that first step, consider supporting our work by volunteering, donating, or sharing our mission with others.

According to USDA estimates, a family of four may need around $1,000 per month just for groceries — before paying for rent, childcare, transportation, healthcare, utilities, or other essentials.

When basic living costs continue to rise faster than incomes, more families find themselves one unexpected expense away from housing instability.

Big changes rarely happen all at once. They are built through small decisions, steady effort, and the courage to keep moving forward even when the road is uncertain.

If you would like to help make those journeys possible, consider supporting our work by volunteering, donating, or sharing our mission with others.

Today we're celebrating Shanon and her incredible four-year journey with the Greater Lafayette Family Shelter.

Shannon first came to our shelter as a client, seeking a safe place for herself and her children during a difficult time. She now serves as both our Facilities Manager and a Case Advocate.

Her story is a powerful reminder that homelessness does not define a person. Given support, opportunity, and determination, lives can be transformed.

Please join us in congratulating Shannon on four years of service and impact. 🎉

Housing instability is not just a big-city issue.

Recent Indiana homelessness data shows rural homelessness has been rising faster than urban homelessness in recent years, highlighting the growing need for affordable housing and support services in communities of every size.

Veterans deserve more than our gratitude. They deserve a safe place to call home.

Today we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

As we gather with loved ones, we pause in gratitude for their sacrifice and the freedoms they helped protect. Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.
