Room In The Inn

10 years of service!!

Emmanuel UMC is entering our 10th year participating in Room in the Inn’s Winter Shelter Season (November 2023 – March 2024). If you haven’t joined us yet – now is the time! We are hosting in the gym at Emmanuel UMC beginning Saturday, November 4, and continuing every Saturday through the end of March 2024.  We will be providing shelter for 14 male guests, which includes a safe place to sleep, a dinner meal, a takeaway lunch bag, plus shower & laundry facilities.

We will continue to offer opportunities for families with young children (5th grade & under) to volunteer to help with set up – making it “A Family Affair”! Families with children (6th grade & up) are encouraged to sign up for regular gym set-up crew, servers/hospitality, and/or greeters/toiletry/clothing to name a few volunteer opportunities. Detailed volunteer descriptions are available at the link below.

If you are looking for a place to make a difference in people’s lives and our community, please join us in providing Holy Hospitality to our unsheltered neighbors.

Reasons for Room In the Inn:

– 37,000 homeless people die each year.
– Most die due to complications arising from inadequate shelter.
– Many freeze to death each winter.
– Churches are empty and warm every night.
– We’re trying to change this…

Here’s a great article by the author, Ann Patchett, about the founder of Room in the Inn, Charlie Strobel.
