At Fayette Cares the homeless are empowered to achieve stable and independent living. Program participants find a nurturing environment to overcome barriers to stability and self-sufficiency including issues related to domestic violence, drug abuse, and mental illness. Families actively participate in educational programs building the skills and resources needed to increase income, effectively manage finances, establish stable homes, and build strong families with bright futures.

The program serves male or female single parent households, married couples with children, and individuals without children. Unlike many shelters, children over 10 are welcomed regardless of gender.

Churches, schools, community groups, and individuals collect needed items to welcome families and host holiday and special milestone celebrations. Click here for a welcome basket wish list and help brighten the lives of families recovering from crisis.
