Give help with dignity to your neighbors in need.
The Outreach House’s reason for being is simple – to provide compassionate and effective assistance to individuals and families with dignity and without judgment.
By addressing the sources of insecurity related to acquiring food, appropriate clothing, diapers and hygiene products, and paying essential bills to prevent utility shut offs, we can help local residents maintain healthy diets, and safe and secure homes for their families.
Donate online using your debit or credit card.
$180 (or $15/month) assists a family with their diaper needs each month so baby can go to daycare while parents work.
$150 helps a family maintain housing by avoiding utility shutoff.
$240 (or $20/month) pays for a family to shop with us weekly.
