Ritter Center

We're excited to invite you to Under the Stars: A Sleepout to End Homelessness in Marin, on July 31, 2021. Sleepout.RitterCenter.org Join your family and friends and give up your beds for one night to help raise $150,000 for Ritter Center’s housing support and healthcare services that prevent and resolve homelessness. Housing is a right and homelessness is solvable. We believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home, regardless of income, and people experiencing homelessn...ess just need the right support to rebuild their lives. While choosing to sleep in an area other than your own bedroom cannot recreate what it feels like to be homeless, our Under the Stars sleepout will help bring our community together, connecting us for one night to the plight of those without a place to call home with the shared goal of ending homelessness. Once registered, you'll get access to your own Participant Center to help you fundraise and there are prizes for top fundraisers and the largest team. We'll also have a live virtual event on the night with guest speakers, fundraising awards, and a bedtime story. **First 100 paid participants get a FREE under the starts event t-shirt!** Form a team or sleepout solo. Register at www.Sleepout.RitterCenter.org #RitterCenterSleepout #UndertheStarsSleepout #HousingIsARight #HomelessnessIsSolvable #sleepouttoendhomelessness

Alice Raschke, Ritter Center's Director of Administrative Services, shatters multiple stereotypes simultaneously: A first-generation college graduate, Alice identifies as a member of the queer community and as neurodivergent. https://rittercenter.org/news/alice-raschke/ In our recent blog interview, she talks about #PRIDE, empathy, bringing her lived experiences from the queer community to work to help those in need, and battling stereotype misinformation to humanize homelessness. #Pride2021 #HealthcareForAll #lgbtqpride #pridemonth #HousingForAll

Ritter Center proudly celebrates LGBTQ+ #Pride2021. We support all of our LGBTQ+ community members. We believe healthcare is a human right & we proudly provide access to equitable, inclusive healthcare regardless of gender, identity, or who you love. Live with PRIDE. #PrideMonth

The 30th National Homeless Person’s Memorial Day is today, December 21st. It’s poignantly held on winter solstice which, for many cultures, is a celebration of the longest hours of darkness and the sun’s rebirth, representing regeneration, renewal, and self-reflection. Every life has value. Experiencing homelessness does not make a person less of a human or less worthy of love, support, and the chance to build a good life. At Ritter Center, the darkest night on the calendar g...ives us pause to reflect and remember all the valuable lives lost this year. We recently talked with Street Chaplain Paul Gaffney about providing spiritual care for Ritter Center’s clients. http://bit.ly/homeless-memorial-day #inmemory #everylifematters #preventhomelessness #wholepersoncare #HousingIsHealthcare #homelesslivesmatter
