Support Our Mission
Every day, Fortify Life shows up to keep families together, lift up our neighbors, and make sure no one in our community faces homelessness on their own. Your generosity fuels simple, hands-on solutions that make a real difference: meals on tables, safe places to stay, support for kids and parents, and neighbors helping neighbors. When you give, you’re not just making a donation… you’re joining a mission that’s rebuilding hope, right here at home.

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."
