About the Campaign


This holiday season, your gift will have twice the impact when you make a donation to help our seniors at the Torres Community Shelter. Will you give the gift of shelter today?


Senior citizens are the fastest growing population of adults experiencing homelessness nationwide. We are seeing this same trend: 35% of our Torres Shelter guests are older adults.

Many of our senior guests have disabilities and/or health needs that require special attention and accommodations. 


We need your help this holiday season to continue providing compassionate care to our seniors. Stopping this crisis requires swift action and financial support to help them secure safe, affordable housing.


For a limited time, your impact will be DOUBLED! Starting on Giving Tuesday, November 29th and through the rest of the year, the Emil & Leonora Stiefvater Senior Endowment Fund at the North Valley Community Foundation will match every dollar raised in our Home Again campaign up to $50,000. We are so grateful for their generosity! 


Will you help us meet our goal to raise $100,000 total to shelter and house seniors in need? 


Please help our cause by making your gift today and sharing this page with your family and friends. This holiday season, let's work together to help unhoused seniors find their way home again!

The Stiefvaters


This campaign is made possible by a dollar-for-dollar matching donation from the Emil & Leonora Stiefvater Senior Endowment Fund, which will match all contributions made up to $50,000. 


The Emil & Leonora Stiefvater Senior Endowment at the North Valley Community Foundation exists to support the emotional, physical, and/or spiritual needs of older adults. Its grant program provides financial and infrastructure support to nonprofit organizations that serve seniors. 




Giving Tuesday


Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity held once a year. This year it was on November 29th. Many nonprofit organizations keep the spirit of Giving Tuesday alive through the rest of the holiday season. It gives us a chance to let you know what we need, and how you can help make the greatest difference. 


We launched Home Again on Giving Tuesday 2023. By donating to our Home Again campaign, you also support the spirit of Giving Tuesday and:

  • Join a worldwide movement spanning 80 countries that helped raise $2.7 billion for charity and programs like ours in 2021. 
  • Join a local movement across Butte County that helped raise over $85,000 for local nonprofits like ours in 2021.
  • Join the successful efforts of our dedicated team at the Torres Shelter and make a difference in the lives of homeless seniors. In 2021, we served nearly 700 people and housed nearly 300.
