What the site does

A red Emergency Shelter button sits in the header of every page we read. The contact page tells anyone who needs shelter to call 211 or Stamford's Housing Hub, and lists separate email addresses for volunteering, press, events, donations and sponsorship. Each program has its own page, and the Donate page links to giving now, matching donations, planned giving and major gifts. Visitors can also send a message through a contact form and join the mailing list.
