Cold Weather Shelter

Cold Weather Shelter in Columbia, MD, offers vital overflow emergency shelter from November through March, addressing the urgent needs of those experiencing homelessness. Local congregations come together, hosting the shelter for one or two weeks, while providing essential volunteer support for transportation, meals, laundry, and shelter operations. Grassroots coordinates these efforts, ensuring effective management and support through a dedicated team leader during shelter hours. We invite congregations to join our mission of compassion and service, providing warmth and safety to individuals in crisis this winter.
