Get Involved
​Getting involved with IPH is an important way that community members can contribute to providing resources for individuals in our community who may be experiencing or facing homelessness.
Meal Donations
Ensure access to healthy meals for IPH guests by donating a prepared meal for shelter guests to enjoy.
Nutritious meals keep IPH guests energized and prepared for the day ahead. Donors can choose to cook a meal at home or leave the cooking to the experts by ordering a meal from a local restaurant.
Holiday Program
IPH’s Holiday Program spreads warmth and cheer to families and individuals throughout our programs during the holiday season. Getting involved during the holidays is an engaging and rewarding experience.
Opportunities include signing up for our Adopt-A-Family program; donating holiday baskets filled with
household essentials; or preparing classic side dishes for our holiday feasts.
Fundraising
Financial support ensures IPH has sustained resources to provide uninterrupted hot meals, case management, health and wellness care, housing support and shelter services. Community members can get involved with fundraising by hosting personal fundraisers or a special event/promotion in their community
Looking for additional opportunities to get involved with IPH or have a specific idea in mind? There are so many different ways to support our guests throughout the year, including seasonal, administrative and special initiatives.
