We Need Your Help!

Get excited for the upcoming Give for Good Louisville! The most generous day of giving, hosted by the Community Foundation of Louisville, will be back on Thursday, September 12, 2024, from midnight to 11:59 p.m. (ET). Give for Good Louisville isn't just a day for online donations; it's a time that sparks kindness across all ages and unites communities for the greater good. Since its launch in 2014, communities across Kentucky and Southern Indiana have raised over $60 million for local organizations like Open Door.

Shelter Needs List

Below is a list of needs for our shelter that we have identified for this month. We've added them to an Amazon Wish List so that they can be purchased and delivered directly to us at your convenience:

Service Spotlight

Children who are placed in our Emergency Shelter Care are those abruptly removed from home because of abuse or neglect, those with excessive trauma, those who have run away from home, those transitioning from more restrictive placement, and those who are not able to be adequately supervised by parents or guardian and have become involved with the juvenile justice system. Open Door offers groups and counseling in a trauma-informed environment. Both males and females can be served, and referrals can be taken from any Indiana county Department of Child Services or Juvenile Probation office.
