Support WOW Living

Our heart is to invest every minute and dollar donated intentionally into the lives of the people we're serving. 

This may include covering a few nights at a hotel for a homeless friend, putting gas in someone's car to get them to a shelter, driving a friend to an appointment, helping one of our friends move, fill out forms, navigate the welfare system or buying them a cup of coffee, groceries or a meal. 

Financial donations may also go toward the cost of training, operating costs associated with

the Out of the Cold Cafe and A Hand Up Clothing Room, and other affordable housing initiatives.
