Alternatives Incorporated's Care and Connect program is an opportunity for supporters to connect with survivors in our transitional and rapid rehousing programs. It allows supporters to celebrate accomplishments, encourage growth, and learn more about residents' needs and hobbies. We are looking for people who have a passion to not only give financially, but to connect with those their gift benefits.
Care and Connect supporters are provided "family bios" to introduce you to the survivors in our programs. It includes information about the family's goals. As goals are achieved, supporters are notified so they may help celebrate the milestone with a letter or card. Once a quarter, we have Connection Celebrations that allow supporters to interact with residents in-person.
To join, we ask for a $100 donation, feel free to give what you can to support the program. Funds do not support individual survivors, but the program as whole. Throughout the year supporters are also made aware of individual needs such as bedding or dishes for a new home welcome basket.
If you are interested in joining our Care and Connect program, please contact Ashley Waterbury-Carpenter at (765) 643-0218 or awcarpenter@alternativesdv.org.
