Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved with the SELF community. Volunteers appreciate the support from our staff while repairing homes. Donors contribute essential funds and resources, directly helping those in need. Many people attend our Annual Awards Celebration which is our major fundraiser in April. And, a special way to give back is to adopt a family for the holiday season.

Every Gift Makes a Difference

SELF treated me like they cared and with respect, like they wanted me to succeed as an individual. Without SELF, I wouldn’t have been able to put money up, and now I’m a first-time homebuyer! And they’re still helping me. It’s a great program and will get you on the right path.”

“Getting Ahead opened my head up to a lot of circumstances and things that go on in the world that I just hadn’t given a lot of thought to before. So now when I’m engaging in the world and trying to think of my future, I keep those things in mind.”
