The Shoebox Project collects and delivers gifts in-kind to women who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Gifts are valued at $50 and contain a mixture of basic necessities and little luxuries. A gift from The Shoebox Project helps to reduce social isolation and is an important reminder for a woman living in poverty that despite her circumstances, she remains a valued member of her community. We are currently active in 9 cities across the USA (including New York, Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh) and in 35 Canadian cities.

The Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranches' mission is to address, remedy, and prevent child abuse and neglect by creating safe, healthy, and permanent homes for children. Our philosophy has always been that it is better to build a child rather than repair an adult. Founded in 1976 by a group of sheriffs and concerned citizens, the Ranch began as a single cottage (mobile home) that served as shelter to three young boys. The Ranch now consists of three campuses across Arkansas with eight cottages for boys and girls. During its history, the Ranch has been "a place to call home" to more than 1,200 children and touched the lives of many more. Many of the children who come to the Ranch are often the product of a broken home of abuse and neglect, lacking the nurturing relationship of a loving family. The Ranch provides a healthy home environment filled with emotional support to help each child learn to trust those around them and cope with their emotions, all the while learning responsibility and building self-confidence. When children enter the Ranch, they are surrounded with individuals who care about their immediate needs and their future aspirations. It is the Ranch’s commitment to every child – a commitment that extends from the Board of Directors to management personnel, administrative staff, house parents, support staff and volunteers – to help them believe in themselves and lead fulfilling, meaningful lives. Residents may stay at the Ranch through post-secondary education until they are socially and financially prepared for independence and have stable employment. More than 900 children have experienced life at the Ranch, and for those and many in the future, the Ranch will always be a place to call home.

Boles Children's Home, founded in 1924, functioned in its first three decades as an orphanage utilizing dormitory living for large groups of children. Beginning in the mid-fifties, it transitioned into a children's home, with smaller groups of boys and girls living in cottages with houseparent couples. In the mid-eighties, the transition continued toward the present multi-program Child and Family Services agency providing a range of residential, counseling, and vocational services to children and to single-parent mothers and their children. Throughout its history, Boles Home has maintained the foundational Christian values, woven into the fabric of its service programs. Boles has provided a home to over 21,0000 Children in its 84 years of service. No child or family is turned away because of race, religion, color, national origin, or inability to pay.

Utah Nonprofit Housing Corporation (UNPHC), founded in 1967, is a Utah non-profit developer of multi-family affordable housing. Staffed by volunteers until 1993, there are now almost 50 employees. UNPHC has 40 properties providing more than 1,800 units to over 2,000 individuals. In addition, UNPHC provides the property management to several of these projects, as well as technical assistance to other non profit organizations and communities wanting to develop their own affordable housing. Those we serve are low and very low income, making less than 50% of the area median income. The majority of properties serve seniors 62 and older, but UNPHC also serves special needs populations such as physically disabled, families, chronically mentally ill, homeless, families and individuals in transition from homelessness, and HIV/AIDS persons. We own 20 single-family rent-to-own homes, and a 24-unit town home project for first-time home buyers. The most basic human needs are shelter and food. If those needs are not met, individuals are excluded from other significant human interactions: employment, parenting, and social contributions. UNPHC is committed to the belief that the long-term solution to homelessness is safe, decent, and affordable housing.
