With a little help, homelessness is a temporary situation
We are all resilient beings, but in really tough times we need compassion, support, and guidance to help us take control of our circumstances. Some of our neighbors lack the basic resources everyone needs most, like a roof over your head, safety, nutritious food, and a warm place to sleep. We welcome our our neighbors exactly where they are, and offer stability and professional guidance to help them overcome these circumstances and rebuild their own path.
Living on the streets can be especially dangerous for women and children who may become the target of violence or exploitation. The Open Door Network operates the only emergency homeless shelter in Kern County for families with children, as well as two domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking supportive shelters.
Your donation provides care and assistance giving hope and restoration to families experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking.
