Shelter House, our county’s only general-use homeless shelter, offers shelter, basic and transitional resources, and encouragement toward self-sufficiency to anyone in our community who needs it.

Let’s gather so much that our UU generosity is truly newsworthy! In addition, 100% of the offering at the Sunday Service will be contributed to the Shelter House. Please -- come with an open heart and an open wallet! |
