Harbor Relief Fund — Together, We Keep People Safe
Emergency relief, since 2016

A safe harbor for every family caught in the storm.

Harbor connects people facing crisis with shelter, meals, and steady support — so a hard season doesn't become a lost one.

Our mission

Every act of kindness starts a ripple.

Harbor was founded after one neighborhood took in a family who'd lost everything to a flood. Ten years later, that same instinct — show up, share what you have — guides every program we run. We meet people at their hardest moment and stay with them until they're standing on their own again.

  • 1 We respond within 48 hours of a crisis being reported.
  • 2 86 cents of every dollar goes directly to families, not overhead.
  • 3 Every household gets a case worker until they're resettled.

A story from the field
"When our apartment flooded, Harbor found us a place to stay the same night. My case worker never let us feel like a file number — she treated us like neighbors."

Your gift reaches a family this week, not someday.

Every dollar is tracked from your card to a household in need. Give once, or set up a monthly gift to keep the harbor open year-round.
