At Lazarus House, our mission is to offer guests connected to our communities, who are homeless or in need, hope for the future by providing safe shelter, food and education — tools for life. We strive to make certain that all who enter feel the love of Jesus.

Your gifts make a direct impact on people’s lives. Only through your gifts can we keep our doors open 24 hours, every day of the year.

Here’s how your gifts make a difference every day:

Join Our
Care is Never Canceled Community 
A treasured group that fund, celebrate, and advocate for Lazarus House on a recurring monthly basis.

The support of this community, for the individuals and families served through Lazarus House, has been, and continues to be the backbone of all the care and compassion our guests receive. As we continue to navigate the post-pandemic landscape, your support remains critical in assisting Lazarus House in serving those experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.  We are beginning to see the long-term effect of the pandemic as homelessness as a whole increased but most notably, homelessness among people in families with children rose by 15.5%. Our mission of caring for our most vulnerable neighbors is never ending, and as a community can come together, to be sure that everyone has access to safe and stable housing. We continue to need your help.

We invite you to join us by becoming a MONTHLY DONOR. Being a monthly donor is a safe, simple, and effective way to support our neighbors experiencing homelessness during this time and into an uncertain future. Your MONTHLY SUPPORT will allow us to continue our mission of offering our guests, who are experiencing or at-risk of homelessness, hope for the future.

Every donation, no matter how big or small, can make a difference in someone’s life. Your contribution, combined with the donations of others, can add up to create a sizable impact. So don’t underestimate the power of your generosity – it can go a long way towards helping those in need.

P.S. Not ready to become a monthly donor right now?  You can still help out by making a one-time donation AND forwarding this message to family and friends. We would really appreciate it! 

Best,

Julie Purcell, Executive Director
