Donate Now

Adsum for Women & Children relies on the generosity of donors to continue providing housing, programs and services for women, children and female youth.  Through cash donations, gifts of stock, planned gifts, and other giving vehicles, we are able to ensure that our doors are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week for women seeking our support.

All gifts, no matter the size, have a direct impact on our clients. Whether funds are used to develop programs that build self-esteem and life skills, undertake much-needed maintenance, provide balanced and nutritious meals for our residents or simply to keep our lights on - the impact of these funds is integral to our work, work that would not be possible without community generosity. We are so appreciative of the trust placed in us and are committed to being accountable stewards of donor investments.
