You are invited to the 26th annual Have a Heart Gala -- an evening of live music, delicious cuisine, and community on Saturday, April 15th 2017 from 6:00pm – 9:00pm in the beautiful Alameda Elks Lodge Ballroom.
Join the fun and bid on exciting silent auction packages to support women and children served at the Midway Shelter. Try your luck in the raffle for the $500 grand prize. Mingle with friends, enjoy a great dinner, and help build a stronger, safer community.
Your support truly makes a difference! Midway residents receive much more than meals and a place to lay their heads at night. Case management at the shelter is aimed at helping residents overcome their obstacles to being housed. In 2016, 60% of the families exiting Midway left with a permanent place to live.
