Reach Out Homeless Winter Shelter Programs provides shelter, daily meals and case management services to homeless adults in South King County. The program is operated during the winter months (November through March) and relies on partnerships with area congregations, community organizations, businesses, and public and private contributors, as well as many caring individuals and families. The program’s goal is to serve those in need by providing support to assist them in achieving self-sufficiency, in turn strengthening our community. Each winter season, homeless men and women receive three meals a day and a safe, warm place to spend each night, thanks to the hard work and contributions of many.
We welcome your support in any way that you are able and willing to give: time and energy, resources, monetary donations and prayer.
The Reach Out 2012/2013 Winter Season began on November 1, 2012.
Intake for the 2012/2013 Winter Season takes place at New Hope Christian Fellowship in Federal Way (31411 6th Ave. S) on Wednesdays between noon - 2:00 p.m.
If you or someone you know are homeless and need shelter, please contact Catholic Community Services at 253-854-0077.
