Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter Home at a glance....

No matter where you come from, how you pray, who you love, you are welcome here.

ISSH provides 24-hour shelter, a warm meal, supportive services, kindness and compassion, for all genders, races, religions and sexual orientations. We are a sanctuary for families with children, allowing them to find shelter together. We are a shelter full of hopes and dreams offering supportive services everyday.

Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter Home is a home to second chances for our unemployed, our mentally fragile, and our friends struggling with addiction. Our building is a sanctuary of learning, recovering, growing, creating and moving forward towards a better life.

Interfaith Sanctuary Shelter Home is also home to our senior homeless population where our medically fragile have a safe space to be and the ability to receive the care and support they so very much deserve.
