On the coldest nights, when our beds are filled, people warm up in our lobbies and dining rooms. 

Winter weather and frigid temperatures create enormous challenges for our most vulnerable neighbors. Pine Street Inn’s outreach teams canvass the streets each night, bringing people in from the cold. Our ultimate goal is to help them find permanent housing, but resources are stretched and our 450 shelter beds are almost always full.

During the winter months, Pine Street outreach teams visit up to 65 people on the streets each night. They meet veterans with PTSD, individuals battling mental health disorders and addiction, and others who do not have a safe home.

Guided by a belief that everyone should have access to safety and warmth, our teams go out despite the weather to let those experiencing homelessness know that we are here for them. Sometimes it takes a long time to gain someone’s trust, but we never stop trying to connect with people, offering the promise of a warm, safe place to sleep.

When you join Team Pine Street Inn for this year's Winter Walk, you will help to provide critical outreach to those on the street, and ultimately put more vulnerable people on a path toward stable, permanent housing.

Please join us on Sunday, February 11 so that together we can provide the resources necessary to keep our guests and tenants safe and healthy. Your generosity will make it possible for us to continue the critical work of bringing vulnerable individuals into shelter, with the goal of moving them from the streets and shelter into the safety and stability of a home.
