July Drive for Open Arms Village

Open Arms Village is a faith-based organization dedicated to combating homelessness by providing transitional housing and supportive services to single homeless men. With a mission to restore dignity, self-worth, and stability, Open Arms offers more than just shelter—it offers a second chance at life. Currently supporting 28 men, the program equips residents with tools they need to become independent and productive members of the community. Your support helps extend hope and healing to those who need it most.
