Yes. Separate dorms for men and women. Couples cannot stay together in dorm.

Do y'all have certain places where you pick up people to go to the winter shelter...hmmm?

Yes i actually work there. We pick up from 5:45-7:00pm only on nights when its 40' or below. The Comet bus picks up at the corner of Sumter and Laurel st.

Do you pick up donations? I have great clothes for both woman and man. I don't drive as I'm in a wheelchair.

You could call Family Shelter. They might be able to use them. The Emergency Shelter is run in cooperation with United Way and another shelter. If you call them they might be able to pick them up.

Do u have to pay
