BLC succeeds with your help!
Your support not only helps each of our clients, but it also helps the community at large. When people get the benefits they are entitled to, it allows them to escape the risk and realities of homelessness and achieve stable permanent housing, gain access to necessary medical treatment, afford nutritious food, and make their own contributions to our community.
The personal costs of homelessness are immeasurable, as are the effects of homelessness on our local infrastructure. Supporting BLC supports each individual and also makes a contribution to our community as a whole.
Your contribution will be managed with integrity. The BLC board of directors meets every other month to govern the organization, provide fiscal oversight, assess strategies and create plans to achieve our mission. 95% of financial contributions go to directly funding the services we provide to clients.
