Sojourners (under a journey): “A place for peace and guidance for all women and children…” (- A Sojourner Participant)
The Sojourners is a safe haven & resource center for women & children. We help with access to housing and education, sustenance, advocacy and community networking & integration.
Once housing is achieved, so is a sense of home and community connectedness.Sojourners works in collaboration with The Life Link in Santa Fe. Our community would be a much colder place without the resources The Life Link diligently and tirelessly channels into our community: providing homeless men, women and children access to supportive housing, education, medical and therapeutic services.

Calling All Angels!
We are in need of a serious Christmas Miracle….This year we have nearly twice as many children on our Christmas List as we did last year. Our generous sponsors are able to cover over 100 of those children, but we still have 53 children to find gifts for. Donations can be brought to our location and cash donations can be made by calling The Life Link at (505)438-0010. Your support in making this miracle possible is greatly appreciated.
. . .
We Provide: Kindness as well as:
• a warm, cafe environment for homeless women to come in from the streets and weather.
• a point of entry/contact for homeless women, some with children, living on our streets, the arroyos, and in their cars.
• drop off baby sitting for mom’s without daycare, allowing women to search for jobs, keep appointments, or simply take a much needed break.
• food, furnishings, clothing, financial help with rent, eviction prevention, utilities, etc. to people trying to stabilize in our community.
. . .
We Help With:
• advocacy, information and resources to women seeking housing, Protection Orders, State I.D.’s, driver’s licenses, birth certificates, transportation, gift cards, procuring donated cars, furniture, gift cards to buy essentials, baby formula, etc.
• referrals and intake for Adelante, a program that ensures homeless children have equal access to schools, uniforms, clothing, backpacks, food, etc.
• We utilize many other fellow agency resources in the community as needed.

Sojourners Requires Funding:
Donations: Food, baby supplies, furnishings, dishes, clothing. Often things we take for granted that the homeless consider a gift.
Services: Helping with an oil change (cars are houses), hair cuts, a meal, and gift cards that are available in many stores.
Volunteers: We need support from the community. Our goal is to support women who are struggling by bringing our community to them. Santa Fe has HEART!
