Adopt a Bed – SUPPORT US FINANCIALLY
In addition to the funding we receive from Harford County government, Welcome One depends on donations from individuals, churches, civic groups, local businesses, and private foundations to fund the services the shelter provides.
Our Adopt-A-Bed program is an easy way to support the shelter. A $31 donation provides one resident with all shelter services for one night. You can Adopt a Bed for one or more nights.
You can choose to make a one-time gift, at any amount, or become a recurring donor. Recurring donors select an amount they would like to donate monthly and their credit card is automatically charged once a month.
