OUT OF THE COLD

Centre County provides emergency shelter nightly 9 p.m.-7 a.m. from mid-October to early May. Hosted by 16 congregations and seven partner agencies the shelter rotates sites approximately every 2 weeks. Guests must call 814-852-8864 to register for the evening. First time guests will complete an intake interview upon arrival. No weapons, alcohol or illegal drugs are permitted on site.

Once admitted to the program, guests can register at the shelter to stay additional nights. Each evening a hot meal is served and breakfast is available before departure in the morning. If a guest is working, or otherwise unable to attend the day shelter, a packed lunch may be provided.
