Pillars provides shelter to 135 individuals each night between two shelters, and it is our mission to provide a safe place for individuals to rest their heads, receive basic services, and work towards finding a place to call their own.
Each night Pillars provides dinner at each shelter, and we cannot do this without the service, dedication, and selflessness of our volunteers. There are opportunities for anyone over the age of 7. For just three hours of your time you can serve dinner to 55 individuals, providing them with the nutrition needed to get through to the next day and continue on their path out of homelessness.
