Stepping Stones Shelter

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.
