How You Can Help
Donate
Your financial gifts directly support our programs, from art supplies to birthday celebrations. Every dollar makes a difference in bringing joy and healing to families in transition.
Volunteer
Share your time and talents! We need help with event planning, activity leaders, transportation, and more. Even a few hours monthly creates meaningful connections.
Corporate Partners
Businesses can sponsor events, donate in-kind gifts like yoga mats or art kits, or organize employee volunteer days. Your company can be a catalyst for community change.
Unity in Action
Community-Powered Change
Our foundation thrives because of everyday heroes like you. From high school students earning service hours to retirees sharing wisdom, our volunteers create the magic that makes our programs successful.
When we unite around families in crisis, we don't just offer temporary relief—we build lasting connections that transform lives. Every cupcake decorated, every book read, and every yoga session shared becomes part of someone's healing journey.

Join Us This Month!
We're preparing for our Unity Fest community picnic and need volunteers to help with crafts, food service, and setup. It's a perfect opportunity for families to volunteer together!
Meet Our Partner Shelters
We work closely with local shelters to identify needs and provide targeted support. Each shelter serves unique populations, but all share a commitment to creating safe spaces for women and children to heal and grow.
Reynolds Home
A transitional living center for women and children experiencing homelessness. We host monthly birthday celebrations, holiday events, and regular wellness workshops with the residents.
Villa Maria
Provides emergency shelter and support services. Our book clubs and art therapy sessions here help residents process trauma and build community connections during difficult transitions.
La Posada
Serves families seeking asylum and refugees. Our Christmas of Hope program ensures every child and mother receives personalized gifts and experiences holiday joy regardless of circumstances.
La Casa de Abuelitas
A beloved shelter for our elderly and frail community members. We celebrated Valentine's Day here with handmade cards, teddy bears, and sweet treats — and we're committed to continuing our visits to bring joy, companionship, and love to the residents throughout the year.
