Who We Are

Your Donations at Work

Since 1985, The Caring Place has provided for the basic human needs of all people in our community in a welcoming, respectful and caring way.  Through two thrift shops, The Shops at The Caring Place and Second Helping, both in Georgetown, the organization is able to pay all operating expenses to serve a growing community.  All monetary and food donations directly benefit neighbors needing food, utility, rent, transportation or medical assistance.  The Caring Place is a community-based and community-supported organization. 

With your help in 2022, we did the following…

  • Paid $482,987 in rent & mortgages for 1,494 neighbors facing a crisis;
  • Assisted neighbors in need with $96,622 worth of utility assistance;

  • Provided supportive Case Management services to help neighbors meet longer-term, self-directed goals for stability;
