About Shelter from the Storm Ministries: our ministry started 11 years ago when a group of individuals learned that nearly 100 students in the Sun Prairie School District were homeless. We opened the doors to the building in 2017. In the 5 years since we opened the building, we have helped 63 families, totaling 207 children and moms. 207 people from our community who are no longer without a home. It’s been 17 months since our last annual fundraising event. 

This year besides housing families, with the community’s help, our residents have accomplished some impressive personal goals that will be game-changing for their families moving forward. Some of those goals include: obtaining a Driver’s License, an Associate’s Degree, enrolling at MATC, obtained a job as a Certified Nursing Assistant, raising their credit score by almost 200 points, purchasing a vehicle, paying down debt that had previously been overwhelming, learning how to budget and handle money, and one mom was ordained as an Evangelist Christian Minister.

As Shelter from the Storm Ministries, Inc. (SFTSM) celebrates its 11th year of service, we continue to look to the generous individuals and businesses right here in our community to assist us in our mission to help these families not only survive but to set them up to thrive as they leave our shelter.

SFTSM houses and supports an average of 11 homeless mothers and their children at a time (approximately 45 people), giving them a loving hand up into self-sufficiency.  With your help, we have not only been able to provide a safe, clean, and trauma-informed place to stay but life-transforming opportunities that will positively impact our residents and their children throughout their lives.
