The Voeghtly Street Shelter serves men, women, and children who are experiencing homelessness or food insecurity. No appointment or advance registration is needed to receive meals or other services. Just walk in during service hours.
Shelter beds are available on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. For the best chance at a bed, plan to arrive by 7:30 a.m. If the shelter is full, you're still welcome to come in for meals and other services.
Three hot, homemade meals are served every day: breakfast from 8 to 9 a.m., lunch at noon, and dinner from 5 to 6 p.m. Clothing and hygiene products are also available on-site.
Meals are served in the dining area at the shelter. Walk in during meal hours and staff or volunteers will serve you.
Case management is available to help guests take next steps out of homelessness, along with off-site housing assistance. On-site community support agencies, mental health support, and first aid are also available.
