Mission
Our mission is to provide a low-barrier winter shelter for homeless individuals in Monroe County from October through April, from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., seven days a week. Our purpose is to offer a warm and safe place to sleep for homeless men and women who are in danger of hypothermia during the coldest months of the year.
The Shelter is currently recruiting volunteers and accepting donations for its fourth winter season. We welcome your participation as volunteer, donor, or community partner in a collaborative effort that is strengthened by the whole community’s involvement.
