Ways to give

Your contributions help Way Finders provide support for individuals and families in need of housing assistance throughout Western Massachusetts. From shelters for families to first-time home buyers, Way Finders provides programs and services that best meet the need of someone’s housing journey.

  • $50 can provide transportation such as bus passes or gas cards to help them get to work, school or appointments
  • $100 can support a client working towards economic stability and building assets through financial education, first-time homebuyer classes, and foreclosure prevention services
