Update: The County of Sacramento has listened to our call for action and has decided to provide funding for more winter shelter. See Sacramento County Funds Winter Shelter - City Silent for more info.

More Winter Shelter For Families Needed

We are quite concerned that here in Sacramento Homeless families are being turned away from emergency shelters for lack of space. Even more alarming is the fact that this year for the first time Sacramento County does not plan to fund any additional emergency shelter space this coming winter.

If you could see what we see every day at Loaves & Fishes, you’d share our concern. This video is one mother at Maryhouse telling us what it’s like to contemplate sleeping outside with your children:

Please join our campaign to make sure families have a safe place to go this winter. Because no one should be homeless in Sacramento Take Action and fill out the form on the next page.

Together our voice will be heard.
