🎉 Empowering Our Community Through Fashion!🎉

At Street Haven, we are committed to enhancing the confidence and well-being of the women we support. Recently, we had the pleasure of hosting an inspiring fashion giveaway, made possible through our collaboration with Neighborhood Closet Collective. Their generous donation of purses, shoes, new clothes, jewelry, toiletries, cosmetics, skincare products, dresses, and more allowed us to offer a diverse range of items to our clients.

Seeing the smiles and joy on our clients' faces as they chose items that made them feel special was truly heartwarming. These moments of empowerment and self-expression are what drive us forward in our mission.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event possible. Your support helps us make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve, one outfit at a time.

Together, we're building a brighter future and fostering a sense of dignity and confidence in our community.

“On November 3rd, join us for the Street Haven Walkathon as we take a meaningful journey from our shelter to Riverdale Farm. As the weather grows colder, the urgency to support homeless women becomes even greater. This walkathon is not just a community event; it’s a call to action.
