Donate Today!

Shelter guests respond to our 2016-2017 funding crisis.

Your financial donation helps us provide safe, respectful shelter during the coldest months of each year, and assists people in their efforts to secure affordable housing. We are incredibly appreciative of the community whose efforts have allowed us to not only continue running, but provide a better quality of service with every passing season. If you are interested in providing in-kind donations, please scroll down to see our current list of needed supplies. Craig's Doors is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your gifts are tax-deductible. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
