Dear Friends,

Here is what some of our clients are saying about the services that we provide with the donations coming to us through the Birdies for Charity program:

"When I first came to HMSI, I was terrified. I had heard nothing but horror stories about homeless shelters. I cried when I walked in the door, but after my first night here, a calm peace came over me. The staff was so kind; they have a way of making you feel welcome and relaxed. They really care about you here and they take good care of you."
~a female Emergency Shelter participant

"The X's are authentic and represent a big THANK YOU to the staff that has helped and those who continue to help me."
~taken from a satisfaction survey

"Thank you for helping me get the Veteran benefits that I need. I never knew I was able to get help from the Veteran Affairs office."
~a veteran in the Transitional Housing program

This community based shelter is changing lives and ending the cycle of homelessness! Thank you for being a part of our success. Every penny of your paid pledge comes to Humility of Mary Shelter for us to help the homeless in our community. We encourage you to take this opportunity to have your donation generate a 5% match from the John Deere Classic!
