Mission Statement
To provide emergency shelter, transitional housing and support services to homeless individuals and families and advocate for their civil rights.
Description
It's one of the cruelest ironies of all. In a time of prosperity, homelessness persists in our community. At SHS, we work to provide hope and stability to indivuduals and families who have experienced homelessness. We offer shelter to people from all backgrounds. In our Women's and Men's shelters, each of the 66 people we serve daily are offered a safe place, clean bed, shower, warm meal, resource referrals and, perhaps most important, the simple dignity of being addressed by name. Our family housing program works to support 70 families through housing subsidies and advocacy. With an emphasis on increased skills for parents and educational stability for children we strive to break the cycle of homelessness and share the family's journey to self sufficiency. We realize that at times the housing crisis can seem overwhelming. But you can make a difference. We need funds, we need volunteers, we even need razors and toothpaste. If you believe in what we do and can help, please call us, the rewards will last forever.

This is a wonderful place to volunteer with a group of friends, and creating a nutritious and filling meal for the shelter guests is a pleasure. There are many ways Simpson give you to partner with them!
