Make a Donation — What Your Gift Makes Possible

Your donations provide the critical funding for ESS to deliver enhanced services that help people make new beginnings, not just weather crises. Every year ESS must raise $2M of the $24M needed to fund our programs. Our low overhead means that that $0.88 of every dollar you donate go directly to program services.
