I LOVE Carpenter's Shelter. They are very dedicated to those they serve and I don't think I've ever come across a shelter that treats its residents with more respect and human dignity. They are very efficient at getting folks into housing. America needs more places like Carpenter's!

Much more than a homeless shelter, this place truly saves lives by empowerment. After Carpenter's Shelter admits a single person or a family, they are empowered to set goals for themselves (and their family, if they are there with them) with their caseworker, seek and gain steady employment, put money aside in savings, seek out education options (if this is a goal for the resident), and transition into housing. When residents obtain housing and leave the shelter, Carpenter's stays in touch and checks on the residents in their Aftercare program. Carpenter's Shelter is really invested in the residents' success long-term. I've been a volunteer at Carpenter's since 2010 and I really have enjoyed these last 12 years (and counting...) by serving at the front desk, at their signature fundraiser (Carpenter's Shelter CookOff), at ad-hoc/pop-up events in the community, as well as helped out on a board committee. They really take care of the people here and lift everyone up to obtain housing and reach their goals.
