If you have any suggestions or questions, please, please, please, contact us.

The G.I.F.T.S shelter is open and free to single men (18 years of age or older) needing a warm safe place to spend the night.

Check in is between 6:00PM and 9:00PM, 7 nights a week.  After 9:00PM, guests will need a law enforcement officer escort to enter the shelter.

We will provide an evening meal at 6:45 PM and breakfast in the morning.  Check out is at either 7:30 AM or 8:00 AM, depending on the location.

During the initial check-in process, we will conduct a police background check.  Any open wants or warrants, or recorded sex-offender status will prevent an applicant from taking advantage of this ministry.

We ask that potential guests arrive sober.  If one chooses to consume alcohol or use illicit drugs on a particular day, then they will want to make other arrangements for that night.
