What We Lose Sleep Over

The thought of someone you know not having a place to sleep at night is terrifying. 

Our shelter is designed to sleep 48 people. As area shelters meet their capacity, we do our best to not turn anyone away. Forced to make space on the floor, we are currently operating above capacity. 

Last night, 81 people needed a place to sleep.

On August 31st, the grant funding available for emergency shelter will be exhausted. At this time, we have not identified a sustainable source of ongoing grant funds for our emergency shelter. It will become a 100% donor-funded program. 

Be the reason your neighbor sleeps safely indoors tonight. Commit today by adopting a shelter bed. You are not only giving someone a safe place to rest their head, but you are giving them hope for a new future. 

During a stay with us, clients are given warm meals and assigned a case manager who provides supportive services and housing planning. Our goal is that their experience of homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring. 

The cost to shelter, provide meals, and staff this program 24 hours a day, is $38.51 a day per person.

Here's how you can help:

  1. A monthly recurring gift of $40 will adopt-a-bed for one night every month

  2. A monthly recurring gift of $120 will adopt-a-bed for three nights every month

  3. A monthly recurring gift of $280 will adopt-a-bed for a week out of the month

  4. A monthly recurring gift of $1155 will adopt-a-bed for the entire month

Be the reason. Help us to never turn our neighbors away by adopting a shelter bed today.
