Spotlight : Shelter Care and Day Center
Interfaith Hospitality Network (Shelter)- Our shelter model is for homeless families with children and first-time mothers. This program provides an outlet for churches, non-denominational groups, and local resources to come together to help homeless families. Due to COVID-19, we have stopped our rotational model. Our guests now remain at neighboring static sites. Each participating group in our rotational volunteer network takes turns coming to our static site and serves for a full week, this occurs on a two- or three-month rotating basis. During the week they provide dinners, dinner servers, and overnight volunteers. Volunteers cover nighttime operations from 4:30 when dinner is set up until 7 am on weekdays and 8 am on weekends. Prior to COVID, we served 3-4 families (up to 14 individuals). During COVID we have been able to expand this static model to now serving 8 families at a time between two buildings. All Shelter guests have access to our Day Center.
Day Center- Is open and staffed daily. The Day center is the touching point for all outreach and in-house services. This includes Prevention, Shelter, and Diversion services. At the Day Center guests from our housing programs can take showers, make meals from our fully stocked kitchen, receive case management to assist in goal setting, financial literacy, and housing searches. Due to COVID-19, most other services are done via phone or video conference.
Day Center Services Include- Family Mentoring, New Beginnings Financial Literacy Classes, Prevention & Diversion Services, Pet for a Promise, as well as showers, laundry, dining and play areas, and much more.
Check back next month for more in-depth information on our Guest Services offered at the Day Center and beyond...
