Freedom Starts With Home

Help Us Raise $10,000 This July

For many of us, home is more than a place. It's where we feel safe, supported, and valued. It's where we rest after a difficult day, share meals with loved ones, and find the stability needed to move forward.

Unfortunately, not everyone in our community has that security.

At Homeward Bound of Wooster and Wayne County, we meet people where they are, providing low-barrier shelter, nutritious meals, and compassionate support for individuals experiencing homelessness and hardship. Every day, our doors are open to those who need a safe place to stay, a warm meal, or simply someone who cares.

This July, we are launching our "Freedom Starts With Home" Campaign with a goal of raising $10,000 to help ensure that our neighbors continue to have access to shelter, meals, and essential services.

Join the Give Up One Luxury Challenge

This month, we invite you to make a small sacrifice that can create a big impact.

Skip one specialty coffee.
Skip one takeout meal.
Skip one online impulse purchase.
Skip one luxury—and donate the difference.

A few dollars may not seem like much, but when our community comes together, those small gifts become warm meals, safe shelter, and renewed hope for someone facing difficult circumstances.
