Helping moms & their kids step out of homelessness
Supporting and Empowering Homeless Moms
SFTSM is a live-in transitional housing program that supports and meets the needs of homeless moms and their children while empowering them to break free from cycles of hardship and poverty. We help moms set the groundwork to build a brighter future for themselves and their children!
Kindness 4 Kids
Why attend?
Kindness 4 Kids is more than just a fundraiser—it’s an opportunity to make a direct impact in the lives of local children and families.
Every ticket purchased helps support the moms and children served by Shelter from the Storm Ministries through safe housing, children’s programming, family support, and resources that help families move toward stability and independence.
Most importantly, Kindness 4 Kids is a celebration of community, compassion, and the belief that every child deserves hope and a brighter future.

stories of hope
"I am capable"
When we welcomed Andrea into SFTSM after she escaped an eight-year, abusive relationship, she had only one of her four children with her and was desperate to have her family whole again. Thankfully, she says, “At SFTSM, I found a support system, resources, a family and a home.”
Andrea’s own childhood had been fraught with abuse, emotional pain and uncertainty. By the time she arrived at our family home, she was suffering from mental health issues, alcoholism and unhealthy relationships.
“I’d been alone most of my childhood, and abused by people I was supposed to trust,” she recalls. Our loving team gave her the opportunity to make positive and lasting changes that would break the cycle of poverty and pain for good!
The SFTSM staff challenged Andrea to get mental health support and obtain her GED. We connected her with local church groups that shared God’s forgiveness, love and grace. She also learned about anger management, budgeting and other life skills. Today, she says, “I thought I was a bad parent and a failure. Now I know I am capable. God loves me and I’m not alone.”
