We’ve been inspired by our spotlight on Families in Transition (FIT) this month, and we hope you have too. If you would like to get involved in supporting their mission to break and prevent the cycle of homelessness in our community, there are many ways you can join their effort.

Whether you are inspired to give of your time and talent, your financial assets, or even cleaning out your closet, there is an opportunity for you. You can even create your own fundraiser!
