HOSPITALITY COVENANT 

BUILDING COMMUNITY ON LOVE AND RESPECT
Respect includes language and actions, respect for yourself, others, and property. Each location will share specific rules when you arrive. 

WELCOMING ALL AS AN EXPRESSION OF FAITH
Welcoming all means everybody. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, gender identity or sexual orientation and give priority to those most vulnerable. All shelter locations are run by volunteers eager to welcome you as you are. 

GIVING HOPE & HOSPITALITY IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT
In order to maintain the health and safety of our community during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have certain additional guidelines in place, posted, and explained upon arrival. Following these guidelines at all times is essential. Weapons, drugs, and alcohol are prohibited as well as any violent words or actions, which will result in immediate dismissal from the program.  All guests can expect to be a part of a safe and welcoming environment.
