Six rooms at the church sleep three women each. Women have access to a shower and laundry room, each resident room has dresser, night stand, and twin size bed. A small clothing closet for needed items and basic care and hygiene items are always available during shelter hours. We offer coffee and water as well as snacks and breakfast.

Winter Hospitality Overflow (WHO) Program
The Winter Hospitality Overflow Program is the program that bridges the gap between limited shelter space and the increasing number of people who seek shelter during the winter months. WHO is a partnership of Share, Council for the Homeless and the faith-based community located at St. Andrew and St. Paul Lutheran Churches.
Share provides staff at the St. Andrew location for women and families which can accommodate up to 50 people per night; those staying at the church can enjoy dinner at Share Orchards Inn, located just a few blocks away.
Outsiders Inn provides staff for the St. Paul location which can accommodate up to 24 men; those staying at the church can access shower facilities and receive meals at Share House.
An additional 15 men experiencing homelessness can be accommodated in the Share House dining room.
Each year, 30 faith-based organizations and more than 900 volunteers give of their time and money to support this valuable program.
