We are excited to announce that for the 2025 Swan River Half we hope to raise funds for two causes - Pregnancy Pathways and Shalom House in Albany!

​

At Shalom Inc., we not only seek to provide physical shelter and refuge but also share our belief that there is someone to whom we can turn unconditionally for love and guidance. We believe it is God’s command and our duty to care for God’s creation and those who are in need of care due to difficult life experiences. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus teaches us to demonstrate the same care shown by the Samaritan to the defenseless victim found by the side of the road. Shalom Inc. aims to offer a professional service to people in need of help and support, who find it difficult to thrive in society; to help them fully understand and deal with the issues they face and empower them with knowledge to handle the difficulties of this life.

We understand that homelessness can happen to anyone for any range of reasons. It can be sudden or resultant of a buildup of long term problems. Often, homelessness is the visible ‘tip of the iceberg’ and other associated behaviors such as aggression and addiction are symptoms of underlying feelings of powerlessness and fear of social life. To address these issues, we believe everyone has a right to feel safe, welcome and heard. We treat everybody with respect. We are non-judgmental and non-discriminatory. Shalom Inc. aims to be the safe haven where people can commence a journey to betterment of life without fear.

Relying on God for his blessings, we trust the passion and dedication of our staff and volunteers will help us achieve our goals and vision for the benefit of our target group and ultimately to the glory of God’s kingdom.​
