A little Information on what the Shelter Provides:

If you need help you can also contact me regarding your situation and we may be able to help.

It seems obvious, but we often take having a roof over your head for granted. Sometimes you just need a place to sleep for a night or two. - Maybe you’ve lost your apartment - Maybe there’s a flood - Maybe there's trouble at home

If you don’t have money for a hotel room, you’re stuck spending a night in your car, or on the street or even on someone else’s couch, wearing out your welcome, the Strathmore Overnight Shelter may be able to help. Please contact us.
