The Shalom Center’s Interfaith Network Nightly Shelter Program provides a warm, secure place to sleep for the homeless in our county. It provides a temporary emergency shelter and offers support during transition to permanent employment and/or housing. Shelters are located in local churches from October through April. Commitment requires an average of four hours per month on a Saturday evening to Sunday morning to provide the guests with a place to sleep, an evening snack, breakfast, and a sack lunch to take with them. Adults involved in this ministry will need to have a criminal background check and participate in a Safe Environment “Protecting God’s Children” awareness session before participating in the ministry. Meets twice a year for planning and evaluation. Our ministry leader is Cathy Wathen.
