The public is invited to dine out on Tuesday, April 25 to help provide shelter for those in need. On Dining Out for Shelter day, eighteen participating restaurants across the New River Valley will be donating a portion of their sales to support the efforts of To Our House to provide winter shelter for homeless men in the New River Valley and connect them with resources that lead to employment, more permanent housing and personal economic sustainability.
Over the past six housing seasons, 72 guests, including a number of veterans, have found more permanent housing and 53 have found employment while staying with To Our House.
