Like the traditional barn raising rooted deep in Midwestern tradition, this is our time to join together and "Raise the House" for our most vulnerable neighbors.

We've worked tirelessly to partner with multiple local and state agencies to secure $16.6 million towards this $18.1 million project.

We're asking for you to partner with us and help raise the additional $2 million to support the building, staff, and programs that will ensure that quality care is never compromised.

The only way forward is together, and I'm confident that we can all lend a hand and "Raise the House" for the love of our community. Won't you join us as we reach for our goal?
