At The Shores Church, we are dedicated to helping people live a life Anchored To Jesus. One way we can do this is by helping provide a safe, warm, and welcoming refuge for those in need during the harshest weather conditions. Our mission is to offer more than just shelter; we strive to create a supportive and compassionate environment where individuals and families can find hope, comfort, and community.
Our Mission
Providing Shelter: The Shores Church partners with Trinity Luthern in Warren to open its doors to those seeking relief from the cold. We offer a safe place to stay, complete with warm meals, cozy blankets, and essential supplies to ensure everyone can weather the storm.
Fostering Community: We believe in the power of community and human connection. Our dedicated volunteers and staff are here to listen, support, and care for our guests, fostering a sense of belonging and solidarity.
Offering Resources: In addition to immediate relief, we connect our guests with local resources and services that can provide long-term assistance. Whether it's finding permanent housing, employment opportunities, or health services, we are here to help guide the way.
What We Offer
Warm Meals: Nutritious, hot meals are served daily, ensuring that everyone has the sustenance they need to stay healthy and strong.
Comfortable Accommodations: We provide a clean, safe space with comfortable sleeping arrangements, warm blankets, and personal hygiene supplies.
Support Services: Our team offers assistance with finding local resources, such as housing assistance, job training programs, healthcare services, and more.
Compassionate Care: Our volunteers and staff are dedicated to making every guest feel valued and respected.
