It’s Time to Celebrate Our Birthday!

In celebration of our 2nd Birthday as an affiliate and the start of our ministry, plan now to attend a full dinner buffet along with a silent and live auction full of fantastic items from artwork to vacation stays. All proceeds will be used to benefit our mission of ending and preventing homelessness for single mothers here in St. Joseph County.


This year’s Birthday Bash will be especially exciting, as we celebrate serving our first clients and the establishing of mentor groups in local congregations on this, the second anniversary of our founding. This annual fundraising event supports our program to help homeless single mothers in St. Joseph County to build a better future.
