Last year, your contribution helped to feed and shelter nearly 2,000 homeless men and women. Please join us this year to do the same. Visit Race Adventures Unlimited and register for this year’s 5K competitive run or 5K fun Run/Walk. Also, LIKE our Facebook HomeRun for the Homeless page.
The Opportunity Center is grateful to our many donors and supporters who help us care for the homeless. In addition to monetary donations, we are always in need of a variety of in-kind donations for our men’s and women’s emergency shelters.
We are in need for couple walkers, preferably with seats. Some of the homeless we care for are elderly and fragile. If you happen to have a used walker that is not being used, please consider donating it to the homeless. Come visit us at 1208 Myrtle Avenue. Thank you so much!
Everyone have a safe and great Memorial Day weekend. Please know that we will be open if you would like to donate any In-kind donation.
We are located at 1208 Myrtle Avenue and best way is to deliver in the entry located in the back where the alley is at.
Happiness… consists in giving, and in serving others.

?Thank You All? to our supporters and friends that has helped us out through the years! We deeply appreciate your generosity. You have helped us keep 350+ homeless men, women, and children from the streets.
With the loss on federal funding, your generosity is still needed.
We have nearly 60 homeless women that live here in our emergency and transitional living center shelters. A lot of them are fragile who suffer from some disabling condition. Some of the women are elderly. All the women have nowhere to go and depend on shelter and meals from us. They have made a home in our shelter and we help those that can get their own place. It takes some of the women months to get there and it may take years for the one most fragile.
One of our homeless women recently turned 85 years old. She has no family and was brought in 8 years ago released from the hospital. She had an injured hip. Thankfully she recovered from that. Getting her to be on her own is not likely to happen. And for this reason, our emergency shelter does not have a time limit.
With federal funding going away, we need the help to raise funds. Would you consider a monthly contribution of $15? How about $25 or $50? Which one fits your budget best in order to give monthly? If you give $15, that breaks down to 49 cents a day. We are looking for partners to donate monthly. Please visit our website and when you make a donation, consider making it a monthly donation. Our website is set up to make donating easy.
We are interested in partnering with you. We feel you need to know more about our operation and how you can help. Please feel free to contact us at contact@homelessopportunitycenter.org and ask us any questions. Please donate as much as you can to help us. Click Here To Donate
