The Sisters community has come together to provide warmth and shelter for those in need during the coldest nights this winter. On all nights below 32 degrees the shelter will be open from 6pm – 7am. Each month, the shelter will be housed at a different facility. Sisters Westside Church will host the shelter for January and Sisters Community Church will host for February, a March location will be updated when one has been secured.
This is a non-denominational shelter, EVERYONE in need of a safe and warm space is welcome.
