Who we are

St. Benedict’s is a temporary refuge for regional individuals experiencing homelessness.

St. Benedict’s provides temporary 24/7 emergency shelter to 64 men nightly, serving more than 500 men annually.

We also provide day shelter to 40 women and families daily at our women and families location.

Until the 2020-21 winter season when COVID-19 hit, we served nearly 150 women, men, children, and families through our White Flag Program annually.

In addition, we provide 26 beds at four residential transitional homes for men recovering from substance use, veterans, and women with crisis pregnancy. Through each program, we are dedicated to providing a nonjudgmental, Christian atmosphere, and access-to-care programs.
