We come to you with a dream — a dream to build a permanent home for the mission we’ve carried in our hearts for years.

The Rowena and Lionel Ward Providing for Life Foundation Nonprofit LLC (501(c)(3)) was created to serve individuals and families facing hardship, homelessness, and hopelessness. Our purpose is simple but powerful: to provide for life — with compassion, dignity, and consistency.

Over the years, we’ve operated through borrowed spaces, temporary shelters, and makeshift setups. But the need is growing, and we are ready to grow with it.

We are launching this $1,000,000 Building Fund Campaign to establish a permanent facility that will allow us to:

Offer shelter, food, clothing, and hygiene supplies to those in crisis

Host educational and job-readiness programs

Provide mental health support and family services

Operate year-round outreach and mentorship efforts from a central location

This building will be a place of restoration, safety, and opportunity for so many who are simply looking for a chance.

Where Your Support Goes

Every donation—large or small—brings us closer to our goal. Funds raised will go directly toward:

Land acquisition and construction

Essential equipment and furnishings

Technology and security

Legal, permitting, and inspection costs

Emergency reserve funds for sustainable operations

You can view a full breakdown on this page for full transparency.

Join Us in Building for Life

This isn’t just a building — it’s a foundation for futures. A safe space for second chances. A launching pad for lives waiting to be transformed.

We invite you to be a part of this mission. Whether through a donation, a share, or simply a prayer, your support means everything.

Thank you for believing in our cause, and in the countless lives we’ll impact—together.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rowena Ward
