PALS Program
PALS: Partners of the Arlington Life Shelter
The mission of PALS (Partners of the Arlington Life Shelter) is to expand the community's awareness of the work of the Arlington Life Shelter and provide additional financial support of that work.
Our vision is to support the Arlington Life Shelter as they shepherd homeless men, women and children toward a lifestyle of self-sufficiency.
PALS Volunteers are men, women and children who help make the shelter a “home away from home” for homeless families in our community.
