Every woman, child, and family should have access to adequate housing, support, and resources in our community. We're working hard to make that a reality.
Lotus Treasures is a thrift store supported by community donations with all proceeds supporting the Lotus Community Project. We accept donations of all kinds to use at the shelter and to sell in the thrift store. Contact the store for donation information during business hours.
We believe that cycles can be broken, families can find healing, and that our families can become self-sufficient and successful after major setbacks in life. By providing access to support and resources, the Lotus Community Project strives to help single women and all family units create better lives for themselves and their families.

We offer shelter and transitional housing to single adult women and all family units with children. Check out "Our Facilites" for more information!
Taking the first steps toward success can be intimidating, but we're here to help.
Sometimes knowing that you're not alone makes all the difference.
