Safe Shelter
Safe Shelter is a collaboration between Trinity United Methodist Church, Grace Covenant Presbyterian, Grace Episcopal Church and Counterflow. We provide twenty beds for our community’s unsheltered on a nightly basis. Ten of these beds are reserved for intact families, meaning that families with children no longer need to choose between staying together or accessing shelter.
Please consider volunteering or donating a meal at Safe Shelter. We would love for you to join us for a family-style dinner any day of the week.
Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday, 2:00 p.m.-8:00 a.m. with dinner served at 5:30 p.m.,
and Saturday/Sunday, 2:00 p.m.-8:00 a.m. with dinner served at 6:30 p.m.
Drop in Hours: – Monday-Friday, 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.
The EPISCOPAL PUBLIC POLICY NETWORK (EPPN) is a grassroots effort of
The Episcopal Church’s Office of Government Relations (OGR) to educate, equip and engage
individual Episcopalians in federal public policy advocacy, guided by
the resolutions of the General Convention and the Executive Council.

“We are told by the rulers of our day that the rich shall be first; that compassion is a weakness; that we should regard the migrants and strangers among us with fear and contempt. But I ask us all to see that our true citizenship is in God’s kingdom, where the meek shall inherit the earth, the merciful shall receive mercy, and the captives shall go free.”
— Archbishop Sean Rowe
“Welcoming the stranger is not a political act—it’s a sacred obligation. When immigrants walk through our church doors, they’re not entering as outsiders; they are stepping into the heart of our faith, where their dignity and stories are embraced as reflections of God’s love.”
— Julia Ayala Harris, president of The Episcopal Church’s House of Deputies.
