Family Emergency Shelter

The Family Shelter provides a fresh start to homeless families by offering up to 90 days of free overnight shelter, Biblical counseling, and guidance toward social and economic improvement.

We provide bunk-style beds with blankets, a place to shower, and at least two meals per day for our shelter residents.  We work with, and advocate for, each family in need to help them get their lives back on track.  Most importantly, we offer a relationship with Jesus Christ along with spiritual services to address their deepest needs.
