Every donation helps provide safety, dignity, and a path forward

Since October 2024, this community has helped 113 neighbors move from our shelter into permanent housing. Your gift keeps that pathway open.

Why your gift matters

Every night, neighbors in Vincennes need a safe place to sleep. Donations provide shelter, meals, essential supplies, temporary hotel assistance for families with children, case management, and the housing navigation that turns a hard season into a fresh start. First City Sunrise is volunteer-powered and community-funded. Your gift goes to work here at home.

Amount (USD)
Your information

You'll complete your gift on our payment processor's secure checkout page. This site never sees or stores card numbers.

Secure payment integration point: Final checkout will be handled by a PCI-compliant hosted provider (Stripe Checkout, PayPal, Donorbox, or Squarespace Donations). Configuration: DONATION_PROVIDER in lib/config.ts, currently null, so submission shows a friendly notice instead of processing payment. See docs/BACKEND-INTEGRATION.md.

First City Sunrise is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. [Add EIN and final tax-deductibility language after review]
