Shelter for 4 Families
Supervised Housing

Funds are being raised by Our Neighbors’ Place,  a 501(c)3 EIN: 35-23831-55 organization.

History
In February 2009 a city summit was called by several pastors in River Falls to discuss the rising concern of families in distress and needing emergency shelter. After establishing that indeed there were homeless people dwelling in the River Falls area, that Pierce County does not have an emergency shelter and that St. Croix County Shelters have waiting lists, interested individuals and churches were stirred to action. From that question has grown a movement to form a committee to address the short term needs and the emergency shelter needs for Pierce and St. Croix County families.

Mission Statement
Our Neighbors’ Place will provide shelter and support services to families and individuals of Pierce and St. Croix Counties to help people in need move toward independence and self sufficiency.

Outreach Programs
Today our Outreach Program offers individuals assistance with their basic needs, safety, access to information and knowledgeable people to help in decreasing personal stress when dealing with homelessness.

Our Goal
Homelessness is a growing problem. While we might not think we see it in our own neighborhood, we can become aware of it existing in our community. There is homelessness here in River Falls, St. Croix and Pierce Counties that affects many individuals and families, which impacts the community as a whole.

Long-term solutions include preventing homelessness and helping people who are now homeless become self-reliant. There are a variety of opportunities and ways for individuals, civic groups, schools, families, businesses and churches to assist and volunteer.

Your support through donations of Supplies, Services, and Monetary Funds is welcomed and a vital part of the success of this project.
