The First Week

The shelter on Ming has been open one full week! In that time we have learned so much about the process and about our clients. We have had 31 stays in these seven days. Starting off a bit slower has helped us calibrate what we’re doing and prepare our processes for busier times ahead.

If you are interested in helping, please consider donating monetarily to your ability. Staffing the shelter nightly is the largest expense involved with the shelter, by far, and it is something that is unavoidable to have that constant dependability we are determined to provide for our clients. We are just starting to pay regularly for staff who started with us on the 12th. The foundation runs completely on donations right now. We will be applying for grants asap, but we had to get opened up in order to be considered for those.

For those able to volunteer or provide nightly meals, the link icon in the header of our site will take you to the signup page for those lists. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to message, email, or call us. We will respond as quickly as we can at all times and the phone is always answered.

We are truly thrilled to have the shelter open. Thank you for your interest and support!
