Join Emerging Leaders as we offer a helping hand at Haven for Hope. Approximately 650 people sleep in the Courtyard at Haven for Hope each night. This open safe sleeping area provides emergency shelter, food, hygiene and more to adults experiencing homelessness in our area. Sleeping mats are distributed nightly and require regular cleaning, to ensure the dignity of a comfortable and clean place to sleep for the people we serve.
