Gateway In The Words Of The People We Help

"The staff...have continually given the proverbial extra mile to help truly needy people--and the students I'm speaking about are truly needy: financially, emotionally, and psychologically."
- School principal

"It's the first time in my life I feel loved and at home."
- A resident at the Crossroads Homeless Youth Shelter who was shuffled through the foster care system and had no family, no money and no home until he heard of us. "Laura (Counselor) has given me good advice about how to deal with my anger."
- A 14 year old in the Higher Ground Program for teens in crisis who moved from out-of-state to live with an aunt. The situation there was tense and intervention was needed to prevent the situation from escalating.

There are many more stories of the positive impacts that we have made in thousands of people's lives throughout our 34 years of operation. Our doors are always open to those in need.
