Gateway180

May was a big month for moving families forward.

Last month, 22 individuals and families moved into housing, and Gateway180 provided 5,039 bed nights of safe shelter.

These numbers mean families had a safe place to sleep, support when they needed it most, and a path toward home.

We are so grateful for everyone who helps make this work possible, month after month.

Healing, hope, and the courage to keep going. 💜

This piece was created by one of our Gateway180 clients during our vision board and wellness journaling workshop. At Gateway180, we do more than provide shelter. We help families take the next step toward healing, stability, and a home of their own.

This Memorial Day weekend was full of so much joy at Gateway180. 🍕

A huge thank you to Love Kitchen for coming out and serving fresh pizza to all of our clients. It was such a fun treat and made the day feel extra special.

We also got to celebrate something huge: four Gateway180 clients graduating high school with the Class of 2026! 🎓

Pizza, celebration, and a whole lot of pride. We are so grateful for partners who help create these moments for the families we serve.

It has officially been two weeks since , and we are still feeling so grateful.

Thanks to everyone who donated, shared our posts, or helped spread the word, Gateway180 raised $3,630 to support families experiencing homelessness.

Your support helps provide safe shelter, essential resources, and pathways to permanent housing for the families we serve every day.

Thank you for being part of this work. 💛

We are so grateful for the generosity of our community, but at this time we are pausing all clothing donations.

This helps us stay organized, make the best use of our space, and continue being good stewards of the donations we receive.

We are still in high need of the items shared in our What Do We Need Wednesday posts, so please continue to keep an eye out for those updates.

Thank you for understanding and for continuing to support Gateway180 families. 💙

This weekend was full of love, gratitude, and community. 💐

A special thank you to Aja La’Starr Owens and Adrienne Draper, along with their friends, family, and community support, for helping make Mother’s Day special for the moms and families at Gateway180.

Your kindness helped create a day where our families felt celebrated, supported, and cared for, and we are so grateful for the way you showed up for them.
