Help Us Take The Next Step
Stepping Stones has been able to provide services
to homeless families for over 20 years, as a result of the
tremendous support we receive from the community. Stepping
Stones is quite a magical place thanks to your generosity;
and we have the stories to prove it. One of our favorite
stories is about the resident who requested a typing tutorial
CD, so she could practice typing. Within 24 hours someone
donated, not one but three of them! Or our Cinderella shoe
story about a teenage resident who had been invited to the
prom and needed a pair of size 9 shoes to go with the dress
she found in our Clothes Closet. Ten pairs of gorgeous size
9 shoes arrived that afternoon. Thanks to you, the chances
of these things happening are not really that unusual here
at Stepping Stones.
Your continued support is vital to the success of our program.
There are many ways to impact the lives of a family in need:
sponsor a supply drive, donate your gently used items, volunteer
your time, or make a financial contribution. What you might
consider an insignificant donation on your part, may be just
the thing we need the most on the day it arrives.

Shelter. We
