Hospitality House Hospitality House Family Shelter is an extended-stay facility for up to 23 individuals at a time; very often about half of the residents are children of school age or younger. Hospitality House residents (who represent only 5-10% of our active client caseload), are engaged in the full spectrum of our programs. An average stay can last 6-9 months, though no rigid time constraints are placed on the individuals we work with.
Welcome Center Welcome Center allows us to quickly extend care, services, and resources to the homeless in crisis. WE also provide food, clothing and general household goods, and offer shower and laundry facilities. From children’s clothing to career wear, toasters to tents, and everything in between, we work hard to put donations of lightly used items to good use. Clients of ours can “shop” for the items they need. We can often help a family set up their first apartment or home, and help a mom or dad keep ahead of growing kids. Thanks to the outpouring of generosity from the community, we are also able to offer some of the items we have to other partner organizations in the area such as AIO Food Pantry, their Back Pack Program, New Hope for Women and the Warren Food Pantry. Drop off hours are Monday, Thursday or Friday from 9-5 or by appointment. For furniture donations, please call ahead as we do not have a lot of storage space but can often connect directly with someone who has a need.
