Sunshine House, Inc., a new nonprofit organization dedicated to assisting homeless individuals and families in Shelbyville, announced it has received 501©(3) tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service.
With the official 501©(3) desgination, Sunshine house can now accept tax-deductible contributions and pursue grants. The organization plans to start as an overnight shelter and then expand to meet the evolving needs of its clients.
Sunshine House began as a small group service project at the Salvation Army in 2016. It evolved into a thriving community center offering a safe place, connection, and essential support, including coffee and conversation.
“We fell deeply in love with the people we serve,” said Dyan Current, President and Incorporator of Sunshine House, Inc. “Through our interactions, we recognized that beyond immediate needs, safe sleep and a sense of community are paramount. The closest shelter is in Greenfield, which for our clients, may as well be a million miles away. They want to be in their ow community, surrounded by people they know and faces they trust.”
Sunshine House is governed by a Board of Directors, currently consisting of four members of the Shelbyville community. The board will provide overall policy and direction for the organization.
