#GivingTuesday happens on December 3, 2024, and Leading Families Home is excited to launch our official campaign! We are hoping to raise $5,000 this year, and we can't do it without your help.
Your belief in our mission is the foundation upon which we build a brighter future. Together, we can create lasting change that resonates far. As #GivingTuesday approaches on December 3rd, we find ourselves reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve embarked upon and are humbled by the unwavering support of individuals like you who have been a beacon of hope for our cause.
This #GivingTuesday, we are excited to share the remarkable strides we’ve taken toward helping hundreds of families who face homelessness find permanent housing in 2024. With your support, we’ve opened a new emergency shelter on Ashland Ave. and renovated our original shelter (est. 1921) on Erie – both in Toledo, Ohio. Leading Families Home can now serve up to 100 individuals in both shelters at one time! We invite you to join us once again in making a profound difference in the lives we touch.
This is where you come in. We’re asking our partners and supporters to donate to our #GivingTuesday Campaign and support us in our mission.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to helping families facing homelessness transition to permanent housing. We simply could not do this without you. Please contact us if you have any questions or need any assets to help with your outreach. Thanks in advance for making #GivingTuesday 2024 our best yet!
Leading Families Home operates two emergency family shelters in Toledo, located in Lucas County, Ohio. With both Shelters combined, we can serve up to 100 Participants at one time.
Of course, this costs money. To serve one Participant for one day in our Shelters, it costs an average of $15. Most of our Participants stay an average of 66 days in one of our Shelters. Our average family size is four Participants.
In 2023, we served 402 individuals in our Shelters and 2,777 individuals in our housing programs. We served 5,766 meals in our Shelters to those in need.
Sponsor our families! Your donation of only $15 helps us serve one Participant in our Shelters for one day. $60 helps us serve a family of four in one of our Shelters for one day. $150 offers service to one Participant for ten days. Give Now!
Want to do even more? $1,000 allows us to serve a Participant for the full 66 days in one of our Shelters. $2,000 covers the stay for one couple in our Shelters, and $4,000 helps us serve a family of four for their entire stay at one of our Shelters.
