Giving Tuesday is a day dedicated to generosity, community, and shared responsibility. If you would like to support our work to expand housing options for residents most affected by rising costs—including low-income households, seniors, veterans, and unhoused individuals—you can make a tax-deductible contribution to the Frederick Housing Solutions Task Force through our partner, the Coalition for a Healthier Frederick County.

To give, please visit our website and explore the Ways to Help section. If you are asked to indicate a project, simply select Housing Solutions Task Force.

Your support helps us move closer to a community where everyone has a safe and stable place to call home. Thank you for giving generously.

This Giving Tuesday, you can provide comfort, dignity, and hope—one chair at a time.

Every chair we add makes a difference. In our offices, clients seeking prevention services have a safe, welcoming place to sit while planning their next steps. In our adult shelter, chairs in the day room offer a moment of rest, conversation, and connection for those who need it most.

💛 And here’s the best part: Every gift made on or before December 2nd will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling the impact of your generosity!

With your support, we can ensure every client who walks through our doors has a place to sit, feel safe, and be heard.

Give the gift of a chair—help a story unfold by making a donation TODAY!
