Community Partners

Thanks to our community partners and private doners for helping Austin's Place stay open by providing resources, contributing funds and/or services. We appreciate your open hearts and generosity!

MANY THANKS to Daily Bread, Canteen Run, and other food sources for their donations of lunches and dinners - especially during the Stay-At-Home Orders. Your generosity is much appreciated.

MANY THANKS to all of our donors! Our current model of shelter is more expensive but because of your generous support we are able to offer our guests shelter to keep them safe and warm. If you would like to support our continued efforts through a donation, please visit our donations page.

Your prayers, good thoughts, and words of encouragement help keep us in the fight! Until there is no need, we will humbly serve.

Thank You!

Thank you to Carle for their generous donation, which helps cover operational costs, supplies, professional screening/counseling services, and some emergency expenses!

Thank you to Portillo's for partnering with us for a fundraising night on September 25, 2019. Funds raiser go towards supplying the shelter with snacks, toiletries, and bedding - little details that make a place to sleep a little more comfortable.

Thank you to Panera at Old Farm Shops for partnering with us to raise funds for Austin's Place on October 26, 2019. Funds go towards making the shelter a bit more comfortable for our guests who may not often experience the comforts of home.
