Due to COVID-19, we are taking extra precautions to protect all of our volunteers by suspending volunteering temporarily and protecting our residents through extra cleaning, practicing social distancing, routine hand washing, sheltering in place, and creating a separate sick facility. Due to COVID-19 and through protecting our volunteers, we are using extra staff that is increasing our operating budget. You can help with financial relief by donating to our COVID-19 Relief Fund!

Bed Sponsorship

You're invited to partner in this mission to help the shelter provide for the particular needs of each resident for an entire year. As a bed sponsor, you would be providing food staples, personal grooming products, bed linens and medicine. Your donation also assists with any other needs of the resident occupying that bed. The cost to you is less than $1.37 a day.

Volunteer Opportunities

The shelter is open 24/7. We are always in need of volunteers. Contact us today to assist in our mission.

Our mission is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where individuals can have a warm place to sleep, shower, eat, and wash their laundry in a Christian atmosphere. St. Benedict’s addresses barriers many face becoming self-sufficient by providing life skills classes, case management, targeted case management, ministering, transitional housing, maternal housing, day shelter, emergency shelter, and advocating services and resources.

We also provide spiritual counseling through Bible studies and more.
