- Health Care: Free medical and psychiatric services, no questions asked.

- Case Management: Professional help, individualized action plans.

- Housing: Transitional shelter and permanent housing.

- Jobs: Mentoring, employer outreach, and job preparation, placement and retention.

- Education: In-service training, monthly workshops and presentations to community groups.

- Advocacy: Educating our elected officials and the community about solutions to homelessness.

- Veterans: Homelessness prevention, rapid re-housing, and policy advocacy.

At La Casa, 40 residents call this community home, and one simple lunch donation can become a moment of dignity, comfort, and connection.

We are inviting neighbors, families, faith communities, local businesses, and friends to help provide lunch for the residents of La Casa.

You do not need to do something grand to make a difference.
Sometimes love looks like a sandwich, fruit, chips, a drink, and a note that says: you matter.

Sign up to provide lunch:

Thank you for helping nourish our neighbors. 🧡
