How You Can Help

The Loverde Family Community Fund invites financial and material donations year-round for both the Thanksgiving Dinner and the Community Assistance Network’s Overnight Emergency Shelter, where we offer bi-monthly dinners to the displaced men, women and families. We also invite individuals, businesses, and civic organizations to donate volunteer time.

We have been honored and amazed by the generosity of our donors…thanks to you, the men, women, and families at this shelter receive food and basic necessities in addition to shelter. Thank you for your open-handed, open-hearted kindness in making their lives a little easier.
