Why Slug Never Stopped Coming Back

Dear Friends,

Some people leave a mark that never fades.

Slug first came to Sox Place when he was just 13 years old. That was 20 years ago.

Back then, he was a street kid—young, unsure, and in need of love. Today, he’s grown, stable, and still walking through our red doors. Why?

Because in his words:
“It’s home.”

Slug told us in a recent interview that he keeps coming back because he knows if he ever needs something—anything within reason—he can count on Sox Place to be there.

That’s the kind of trust your support makes possible.

When someone like Slug—after two decades—still calls this place home, it reminds us why we exist. Not just to meet needs in the moment, but to build family that lasts a lifetime.

Thank you for helping us create a place where people feel seen, known, and never forgotten. Pleased don’t forget us during your end of year giving!

With gratitude,

Jordan Robinson
Executive Director, Sox Place
