Welcome to The Shelter, Inc

 The Shelter, Inc. is a non-profit ministry dedicated to helping the homeless and low-income individuals recover from poverty while showing them how to live Christ-centered lives.


Our mission is to minister to the needs of men, women, and families who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, providing shelter, food, life skills preparation, and job readiness skills, thereby equipping each resident with the necessary tools to live fulfilling lives.


As a Christ-centered ministry, we desire to point people toward a powerful encounter with God. We pray that each person will allow Him to transform their life during their season with us. We hope God will reveal His specific direction and purpose for their lives. We want to be known as a ministry that loves our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:30-31).

What We're About

Our History

Core Services

Core Services

The Shelter Inc. was established as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2017. We were offered a free lease for four years on our first building in 2019. After renovations were complete, with the help of community volunteers, we opened our doors on Jan. 11, 2020. In the five years since opening, The Shelter, Inc., has served on average 100 individuals per year. 


In 2023, we were awarded $152,000 from the Accelerator Initiative, a two-year grant which came with a team of four coaches and technical advisors. The grant enabled us to build a stronger board, put together a strategic growth plan, apply for additional grants, improve community relations, and add three full-time staff to serve those who walk through our doors.


In May 2024, our four-year lease ended and we had to find a new home. With the grant, we were able to move to a new location. Once fire alarms are installed, we can re-open. However, renovations are needed so we can expand accommodations and be able to provide shelter/services to more individuals and families. 


In the meantime, we are continuing to help those in need through our sister ministry, Soldiers in the Army of the Lord.

Our program includes a bed, meal, shower, laundry, and a fresh start. That fresh start includes providing information and referrals for available local resources that may not be known or easily accessible, such as identification documents, medical insurance, addiction recovery services, mental health services, emotional support services, cell phones, employment, transportation, SSI, disability, and stable housing. When our new building opens, we will expand our ministry to include the additional programs listed below. We already have partners prepared to implement these programs upon opening.

- Meal Planning, Preparation and Cooking  

- Resume Writing

- Job Interview Skills       

- Parenting Support Groups

- Support Groups for Grandparents raising

Program Development / Goals

 The Shelter, Inc. hopes to raise $250,000 of sustainable income annually. 


At our previous location, we could accommodate up to 12 individuals, and we typically had an average waitlist of ten individuals at any given time. 


Our new facility will have the capacity to house 44 individuals (22 men and 22 women) as well as three families simultaneously. 

Funding Needs

Program Development / Goals

Program Development / Goals


  • Building renovations required to become fully operational include HVAC, electrical, plumbing, signage, appliances, painting, and site improvements. Total cost quoted to us is $236,192.


  • As our client numbers grow, we will also need to bring on additional staff. We currently have three paid staff members: one Resident Coordinator who assists our clients in meeting program goals, and two Shelter Monitors who ensure the safety of our clients and the security of the building overnight. 


Our current donors include churches, private citizens, and grants. We have amazing volunteers that help with bookkeeping, office duties and fundraisers that we host throughout the year. Every contribution is a blessing, much appreciated and makes a difference. We have transitioned from a grassroots organization to a growth stage, which requires capital. Investing in our mission is not just a financial commitment; it’s an opportunity to be a part of something greater by giving a hand up to those in need.


We warmly invite you to explore our corporate sponsorship packet. We humbly ask that you partner with us on this journey. Your investment today can change lives tomorrow. We will provide a quarterly newsletter to report the impact that you are having on those who walk through our doors, the hope you are inspiring, and the futures that you are helping to make brighter. We are so excited to have you join us on this journey through your generosity. Blessings!


“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.’ (Matthew 25:40).
