Hotel Grace

Our Shelter Program

Hotel Grace is the name of our shelter program. All are welcome and admission has no barriers or requirements. During the typical months that Hotel Grace operates (Oct. 1–May 14), beds are available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 1:00 pm. During those months, Hotel Grace operates 24-hours/day. We do not discriminate for any reason. We are committed to treat all that we serve with dignity and respect.

We're hiring!

Homeless but not Helpless

Read a post from our blog, Restoring Hope, Rebuilding Lives, about former guests Shawn and Tammi who recently returned as volunteers to serve dinner and give back to Hotel Grace.
