EMERGENCY SHELTER SERVICES
Carriage Town Ministries is a clean, safe, encouraging place to land for men, women and children who are desperate for shelter, food, comfort and hope. Everyone is God’s special project and worthy of value.
Guests are cared for in a safe, supportive environment where they can find refuge and rest. Once their basic and immediate needs are addressed, case managers work one-on-one to identify their next steps, including healthcare, housing and employment options.

“I used to have my own town house. It was really nice. Unfortunately I could not stay there anymore and I had to move to Carriage Town. It’s a good program. They try to help people get back on their feet. They help the women and the children. I love it here.”
