A Tiny Home for Good provides safe, affordable, and dignified housing for men and women coming out of the shelter system. But our mission doesn’t end after move-in day. We learned early on that it’s not enough to only provide a home. Many of our tenants require additional, ongoing support. Between members of our staff and partnerships with local agencies, we work to meet the varying needs of our tenants, ensuring their long-term success and well-being in our homes.

Service in Action on The Heights
John Bucki, S.J. DIVE (Dolphins in Volunteer Efforts) Day of Service
elebrates the legacy of Fr. John Bucki, S.J., whose life of faith and service continues to inspire the Le Moyne Community. Held each semester, DIVE Day brings together students, faculty, staff, alumni, and families to volunteer across the Syracuse Area to support local organizations and neighbors in need while living out Le Moyne’s Jesuit mission for being men and women for and with others.
Service Clubs
At Le Moyne, students have countless opportunities to live out the Jesuit value of service through campus clubs and organizations. Dolphins for Humanity leads efforts such as building tiny homes for those in need, volunteering at local soup kitchens, and organizing community clean-up projects—all focused on making a tangible difference in the lives of others. Ignatian Ignite invites students to go deeper by connecting service with reflection, offering retreats, service projects, and discussion nights that help them link their everyday experiences to something greater.
One of our core Jesuit values is the call to serve others and give back to the community. Dolphins for Humanity embodies this mission by connecting students with meaningful service…

Community and Connectedness on the Heights
“We learn at Le Moyne don’t just take things at face value, be a critical thinker and be compassionate. This is at the core of Jesuit education.”
“It’s important to find things that feed you and to be open to the movement of the spirit in your life. And then, do something about it.”
“The work of service and philanthropy is a work of grace. It’s a profound Christian truth and a profound human truth that we find ourselves, by giving of ourselves by surrendering to something more.”
Post-Graduate Service
Many graduates from Le Moyne do a year of post-graduate service.
There are so many opportunities to get involved to carry out Le Moyne's mission and values, and I think the Sandwich Makers serve a need by giving food to the hungry, but also open students up to reality at the Samaritan Center.”
