"Would you like a cup of coffee? Do you take cream or sugar?"

This is one of the first questions we ask our guests when they enter the Overflow Shelter. Through hospitality, kindness, and respect our shelter houses up to nineteen men each night from November to April. As a refuge of last resort during the coldest months of the year we open our doors to those who may be impaired by drugs and alcohol or have other struggles. Each guest is provided a bed, shower, dinner, and breakfast. Staff also provide referral services including housing, employment, counseling, Social Services, addictions and health services.
