Our mission is simple: to love people where they are.

At Erica's Place, we believe compassion has no conditions. We believe in dignity, second chances, and showing up for our neighbors when they need it most.

We don't see labels. We see people. Every age, every background, every color. Everyone is welcome here.

Who we serve

  • People experiencing homelessness
  • Displaced veterans
  • Women and children escaping domestic violence
  • Individuals and families who have lost everything to tragedy
  • Anyone facing hardship or starting over

What we do

  1. Support

    Families starting over, from any situation, can come to us first.

  2. Connect

    We point neighbors to the local resources they need, and to each other.

  3. Empower

    Every purchase at our shop goes back into helping Dunnellon families.
