Operation Outreach: A Commitment to Safety and Support
Understanding the Challenge: Research shows that individuals experiencing homelessness are disproportionately targeted by violent crime. A 2014 study across five U.S. cities revealed that 98% of participants facing homelessness had been victims of a violent attack.
The Survivors of Homicide and Other Violent Crimes Program is proud to host an event in partnership with Cordelia’s Pantry and Humility Homes. Participants will receive a warm meal, learn about available programs, and access vital resources and referrals.
Survivors of Homicide Awareness Month
Join us in recognizing Survivors of Homicide Awareness Month (SHAM), a month-long initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the profound impact of homicide on victims, their families, and first responders.
What We Aim To Achieve:
Educate the Public: SHAM provides an opportunity to inform society about the devastating effects of murder on families and communities.
Uplift Survivors: We celebrate the resilience of survivors and promote their peace-building efforts.
Create Community: This initiative offers a dedicated space for survivors to come together during the holiday season to honor their loved ones and acknowledge the commitment of those who serve.
Join the SOHP team in our mission to influence how society views and responds to these tragedies. Together, we can foster understanding, compassion, and healing.

Cookies and Cocoa with Cops and Pizza and Police are initiatives designed to foster connection among families impacted by violence, community members, and first responders. Join us for a warm gathering where stories can be shared, relationships can be built, and support can be offered.

Clothes Line Project
The Clothesline Project is a visual display designed to bring awareness to assault & abuse by hanging T-shirts designed by survivors of violence or their loved ones that share their stories.
Survivors, students, faculty, and staff will be invited to decorate their own T-shirts as part of the Project. According to data from the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced physical violence from an intimate partner in their lifetime.

Open Your Doors: A House Party for a Purpose
Open Your Doors: A House Party for a Purpose is back for year 3!
2020 was a year that brought about big changes in our business, and our annual Opening Doors gala just one of the many things we had to reimagine in order to keep pace with what was happening in the world around us. When we realized we couldn't host a party that year to celebrate and support the good work at Family Resources, we decided to bring the party to YOU, and Open Your Doors: A House Party for a Purpose was born.
The first two years were so successful, we've decided to bring back the House Party for a Purpose for year three!
Last year we raised $84,468 with the help of our sponsors and supporters, and over 80% of those funds went back into programs. This is what makes Open Your Doors so successful - because we get to keep the overhead low, your dollars go directly to support what matters most... the people we serve. So, join in the effort for Open Your Doors 2022 and let us bring the house party to you!
We've got a party for every palate!
CLICK HERE to book your party!

Open Your Doors: A House Party for a Purpose
Open Your Doors: A House Party for a Purpose is back!
Last year we realized that we would not be able to host our annual Opening Doors Gala because we value the safety of the community...
BUT rather than cancel outright - or move the event online - we decided to reimagine what it might mean to gather safely and still support the vital work we do to support successful lives...
And so, by popular demand, we are bringing back our at-home fundraiser,
Open Your Doors: A House Party for a Purpose.
Save the Date: October 1st, 2021 from 6:00 pm to whenever you say it ends!
Here's how it works:
You choose your party, invite your friends, then leave the rest to US!
Complete with catering from one of four local restaurants, we will deliver everything you need to enjoy an evening at home with your friends as you party for a purpose!
