It’s Our Birthday!

We turned 40 on June 23, 2026 and want to celebrate our collective success as a caring community through the decades!

In honor of four decades of service to our neighbors experiencing homelessness, we’re launching a community-driven effort to raise $40,000, with several ways you can participate.

Through Give Lively’s peer-to-peer and team fundraising tools, Facebook fundraisers, and direct gifts to Good Sam, we’re inviting you to join us in sharing our mission and amplifying our impact.

This milestone is not only a celebration of the thousands of lives we’ve touched—it’s a call to come together and ensure we can continue providing shelter, support, and hope for years to come.

It’s easy! (and if it’s not, we’ll help you…)
