We’re currently looking for individuals, families, and groups to help serve meals through our Feed the Need program at Shelter House.

This is one of the most impactful ways to get involved. Providing a meal is more than just food—it’s a chance to bring encouragement, connection, and hope to the men and women we serve every day.

Whether you’re part of a church, business, or just want to give back, we have open dates that need to be filled.

If you’re interested in cooking or serving a meal, please reach out or message us to get scheduled.

Come be a part of something meaningful.

We want to give a huge thank you to Toppers Pizza Clifton, Domino's Pizza Ludlow, and Dewey's Pizza Covington for stepping up when we found ourselves in a tough spot.

We truly appreciate your partnership and willingness to help when it mattered most. Thank you for making a real difference in the lives of those we serve. ❤️
