HFS is very low on brand-new undergarments and we need your help to keep our residents comfortable and cared for.

Please donate NEW undergarments only. For health and hygiene reasons, we cannot accept used undergarments.

Thank you for supporting our community and making a difference in the lives of the families we serve. 💙

Mother’s Day weekend was so special at Holy Family Shelter thanks to the kindness of our amazing community!

Thank you to Adrian's Labor of Love for providing a delicious homemade lunch for all of our families and to Lisa Patcher and her friends for creating essential Mother’s Day bags for all of our mothers in shelter.

To all of our volunteers and donors — thank you for helping make this weekend unforgettable for the families we serve. We are so grateful for your support! 🌸❤️

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, volunteered, donated, and supported the 28th Annual St. Al’s Sausage Fest presented by St. Aloysius KSKJ Lodge #52! Because of their generosity, proceeds from this year’s Sausage Fest will benefit our Children’s Needs Fund, helping provide educational programs and opportunities for the children staying at HFS.

Thank you for helping us give our children hope, encouragement, and the tools they need to succeed. ❤️

We’ve recently had an influx of families with babies, and our shelves are running very low on essential baby items. These everyday items make a huge difference for the families we serve, and we would be so grateful for any support!

Donations can be dropped off any day of the week (including weekends) between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM.

If you’re not able to donate, please consider sharing this post to help us reach others in the community. Thank you for supporting our families during this time! 💙

Thank you to Cardinal Ritter High School for organizing a canned food drive for us!

HFS provides meals for our families every day and supports many others in the community, so pantry items and canned goods are always deeply needed. Because of CRHS hard work, we’re able to continue serving with care and consistency.

Thank you Cardinal Ritter High School for helping us nourish and support so many families!
