Additional Information
We are sorry to announce that due to lack of funding and increased needs we are no longer able to offer financial assistance for rent or utilities.
We are not a shelter and do not offer housing.
We will continue to offer our street outreach Friday mornings at the Link Transit Hub parking lot in downtown Burlington, where we offer anyone coffee, snacks, socks and toiletries.
We will also continue our Load for the Road laundry service at Page's Laundromat Wednesday mornings for those who are homeless.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate this difficult time.

Our snack bags cost $2.25 each and we serve 15-30 people each week. You can help by rounding up at Walmart or purchasing on our registry.

Please consider donating to our laundry service that meets at Page's Laundromat every Wednesday at 10:30 where we provide detergent and pay for washing and drying clothes for those who can't afford it. An easy way to help is to collect your quarters and we will meet for pickup!

Many of our friends who live on the streets are there because they are unable to work due to one or more disabilities. We have been successful helping at least 7 people get disability benefits and medical insurance. Several have then been able to secure boarding rooms. If a person is denied we work with a local lawyer to appeal the decision. Interested in helping us meet with our clients? We are in need of quiet space with privacy. We currently meet with people in the library. Thank you for your support!
About Us
Our Vision
We are a charitable 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in Alamance County, NC focused on helping make the world around us a better, happier place. With proper funding we wanted to provide quality affordable housing; access to counseling, education, & food; and most importantly show unconditional love to the impoverished. By using a "housing first" model we hoped to give people a fresh start . After COVID hit and the prices of housing materials skyrocketed we realized that we will not be able to build our own housing. Instead we are partnering with area agencies in hopes to eradicate homelessness.
