Hear Together: The Haven
The Haven is a year-round day shelter and housing service nonprofit in Charlottesville that supports our neighbors experiencing homelessness.
Every day of the year, The Haven provides a refuge, a place where anyone in a housing crisis can come to find the support and resources they need to survive and exit their crisis.
From providing a hot breakfast every day to preventing families from falling into homelessness, The Haven works to end homelessness in the greater Charlottesville area.

Hear Together: Open Doors
Open Doors is a nonprofit that has provided safe shelter for the unhoused, as well as compassionate support and access to services for all in the Harrisonburg-Rockingham community for 17 years.
This year, they are expanding and growing your impact through the Navigation Center, which will be home to a year-round low-barrier shelter and a daytime drop-in center that will serve those facing homelessness and other hardships in our community. They’re also creating a new kitchen program and expanding their resource coordination to meet those in need where they are and help them with long-term success.
Open Doors invites you to join them in their life saving and life-changing mission through their Planting Our Roots campaign, which is designed to seed this historic milestone, as they continue to extend and expand their compassionate response.
