For some, it’s warmth.
For others, safety.
​
For most of us, home is where we are at peace with our family.
Which is why we work to keep families together at Fortify Home.
​
This Giving Tuesday, Fortify Life invites you to reflect on the meaning of home, and help build it for neighbors who are experiencing hunger, housing instability, and impossible choices.

What Home Means...
We asked our community, including our staff and local students, what the word home means to them. We learned that often times, home means family.

Educational Initiatives
The Rural Disparity Project was our first educational initiative. From there, we've continued to host Lunch & Learn opportunities to help community members learn from lived experience. In 2026, we're excited to launch multiple educational initiatives aimed at increasing empathy and understanding the reality of poverty in our communities.
"One of our core values is, "providing comfort to those in need", and it warms our hearts to know we have succeeded locally in doing just that."
