Event Leadership & Community Partners

Help Us Provide Shelter, Essential Needs, and a Kitchen Built to Serve

Join us on October 29 for an evening of celebration, generosity, and meaningful impact as we come together to help bring stability and home within reach for those we serve.

Your support helps Zaban Paradies Center provide safe shelter, nutritious meals, essential supplies, and individualized services that empower couples experiencing homelessness to regain stability and move toward permanent housing. This year, we are focusing our fundraising efforts on meeting residents' basic needs and supporting a critical kitchen renovation that will strengthen our capacity to prepare and serve approximately 30,000 meals annually.

These investments will both improve the daily lives of our residents and strengthen the programs and services that support more than 1,000 individuals each year through our residential shelter, Day Services, and financial assistance programs..

We extend our sincere gratitude to the generous sponsors and patrons who have already committed to making this year's gala a success. Your partnership is helping bring stability and home within reach for those we serve.
