Why Monthly Giving Matters
Make an Impact All Year Long
Hope doesn’t happen just once—it’s something people need every day. Because of this, becoming a monthly donor is vital. When you commit to a monthly gift, you provide steady, life-changing support to neighbors facing hunger, homelessness, illness, and crisis.
Furthermore, your ongoing generosity means we can show up—again and again—with food, shelter, healthcare, and compassion. As a result, our community becomes stronger and more resilient.
