Yes! I want to Love Our Neighbors Right Here at Home!
CLOSE TO HOME: Loving Our Neighbors Right Where We Live
Homelessness isn’t a distant issue. It isn’t abstract or far away. It is close to home; right here in Fredericksburg, among people we know, streets we walk, and communities we belong to.
For 20 years, Micah Ministries has come alongside neighbors whose catastrophic loss of relationship has left them living outdoors. Our collaboration of churches, volunteers, and supporters has helped thousands of neighbors find safety, stability, and belonging: one relationship at a time.
As we step into a new season, our work continues to meet people where they are and build a community where no one is left outside. But we cannot do this work alone.
This winter and throughout the coming year, your generosity helps us keep care close to home—rooted in compassion, grounded in Fredericksburg, shaping futures in ways that last.
Here are some examples of how your giving makes an impact:
- $15 provides a night of winter shelter for one person
- $25 buys a tent or sleeping bag
- $55 keeps a vulnerable neighbor in hotel-shelter for a night
- $100 buys a night of post-hospital respite care for an unhoused neighbor
- $128 provides a brand new mattress for a neighbor moving into housing
- $200 covers the burial of a neighbor who goes unclaimed
- $350 supports a day of basic needs for neighbors living on the street
- $700 pays for a room at Hesed House (our hotel-shelter) for a month.
- $1,000 keeps a neighbor in housing for a month
- $1,500 bridges a neighbor to supportive employment
- $5,000 per month builds a house in the life-sharing community being built for our neighbors
