Former Client, Current Volunteer

“I was a single mother of three making $10 an hour with rent, bills, a car payment…Life! I was robbing Peter to pay Paul, and then a co-worker told me about Side by Side. I toyed with the idea of going and asking for help, but that can be a very hard thing to do sometimes. I finally went and talked with the Side by Side volunteers, and they made the decision to help me and my family. For that I will always be grateful. Years later, I am a volunteer for this wonderful organization. I felt the need to give back and will continue to do so. I would recommend Side by Side for anyone who is struggling to survive and may need a little help along the way. Thanks, Side by Side!”

A Warm Place to Stay

“During the bitter cold streak in January of 2019, two Side by Side volunteers drove around looking for potential homeless families and people in need. Side by Side coordinated with local hotels and gave overnight vouchers to the police department for them to hand out to whomever was on their list. ”
