Pass The Plate Monroe 2023

Can you help our community neighbors in need?

Throughout the year, the Community Shelter relies on donations to help us run our emergency shelter, food, and rehousing programs. As we enter the holiday season, we are incredibly grateful for your help in assisting neighbors to return to independent living.

A tax-deductible donation through our Pass the Plate drive helps the Community Shelter target its most critical areas. Your donations stay local and make an immediate impact; gifts from individuals, houses of worship, businesses, and civic groups typically make up about a quarter of our operating budget.
