homeless shelterThe Santa Madre homeless shelter has the purpose of reaching out the poorest of the poor. Open to the public 365 days a year from 6pm-7am, it serves approximately 91 people per night by providing a warm meal, showers, and a safe place to sleep. Many of these individuals would stay on the streets without the protection of an enclosed space, but Santa Madre seeks to prevent this from happening. Approximately 60% of the population served by Santa Madre is male, 30% are children and 10% are female. The shelter has recently undergone some changes, but only to better reach the goal of serving and empowering those who are in need.
