By making a donation, BCIS can prevent an individual, child, family, senior or a veteran from becoming homeless. So far in 2023, BCIS has assisted 51 families or individuals and we are looking to help up to 60 before the end of this year.

BCIS partners with the local community churches, community organizations, foundations, corporations, and generous individuals who have supported BCIS for over 25 years. Please join us in bringing more people together raising money for people who need our immediate assistance to keep rather than lose their housing.

Choose Amount: $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, or Other
