Simply put, Network is a counter-story. 

Our longing for this community is to offer an alternative to individualism, greed, exclusivity, and the debilitating loneliness that seems to plague every corner of our world. We aren't a shelter or a soup-kitchen, and since 1982 we’ve really spent very little energy providing food, clothing, or attempting to solve homelessness. Our core desire is to create a hub for friendship and safe, redemptive relationships.The healing we see around the Network comes in small and often subtle increments, but the one thing we’ve learned in our forty years is that healing does begin and end with trusting relationships nurtured over time. 

As a counter-story, we long for our relationships to dissolve the power dynamic of service provider and service recipient and instead foster mutual kinship. Partner with us! We’d love for you to join the adventure of solidarity with the marginalized, as we together understand we are here to be with - not to save, to judge, or to look down upon - and to be humans seeking healing together.
