What is TOOF?

The Other Ones Foundation (TOOF) is a nonprofit that offers safe and dignified shelter, paired with vocational training, to create reliable pathways to housing and independence for our unhoused neighbors.

TOOF represents a community where no one lives in the margins; where all people are inherently valued.

Join us in building a community where our clients, staff, and supporters find common ground and grow together.
