Emergency Shelter
It All Starts With Dignity
Most individuals experiencing homelessness arrive at our doors desperate and overwhelmed by their circumstances. They are often alone and afraid, so the first thing we offer is a hot meal, clean clothes and a comfortable bed. Our staff walks alongside our guests providing a caring and supportive environment.
We shelter an average of 60 men, women and children in the Walla Walla Valley each night.
