Notes from the nonprofit

Welcome to Daybreak, a compassionate and dedicated organization committed to transforming the lives of individuals experiencing homelessness in our community. With a rich history spanning 50 years, we have become a beacon of hope. At Daybreak, our calling is simple yet profound: to empower homeless youth and young adults to achieve stability and self-sufficiency. We envision a community where all young people have access to safe housing, basic necessities, education, and employment opportunities. By prioritizing compassionate care and holistic support, we strive to break the cycle of homelessness and build a brighter future for those we serve. Join us on this journey, as we firmly believe that ending homelessness requires collective effort. We encourage individuals, businesses, and organizations to get involved through volunteer opportunities, financial contributions, and in-kind donations. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those experiencing homelessness.
