Thank you for stepping up to support your community. At Community Forge, we believe that real change happens when people like you take action. Whether you donate your time, skills, or resources, your contribution matters. Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient community where no one is left behind.
Choose how you'd like to help today:
Contribute to our quarterly newsletter covering economic justice, community action, and mutual aid initiatives.
Your financial support helps us provide immediate relief to those in need. Every dollar counts and goes directly toward food, housing, medical care, and other essential services.
Help us provide nutritious meals to our community members and house guests. Your donation specifically supports our food purchasing and distribution programs.
Every 28 days, each guest pays for their own bed—but not everyone can do that right away. You can step in by covering that cost. Whether you're giving in honor of someone you know or helping a stranger stay housed, your support helps someone hold their place and keep moving forward.
Join our membership program and provide ongoing support to our community. Your recurring donation ensures we can plan for the future and continue to meet the needs of those who rely on us.
Whether you're joining us for the first time or staying a little longer, we ask each guest to cover some of the cost associated with providing house guests a bed every 28 days. This secures your spot and helps us keep the house running smoothly. Use the link below to take care of your next stay.
If you are staying a little longer please don't pay until after your program assessment has been completed on day 25:
Join our team of dedicated volunteers and make a direct impact in your community. Whether it's delivering food, organizing resources, or helping with events, your time and energy can change lives.
