Other ways to Support

A Mission Built by Faith & Community

For 80 years, this region has carried forward a mission built by faith and strengthened by community: feeding families, housing individuals, offering warmth during the coldest nights, and opening doors for people who feel forgotten.

The next 80 years will be shaped by partners who believe in investing in the wellbeing of their neighbors. You make it possible for children to sleep safely, for seniors to stay warm, for families to access support, and for individuals to rebuild their lives with dignity. Thank you!

Seasonal Warming Center

When temperatures drop below 33 degrees, the Warming Center opens to ensure no one is left outside in dangerous conditions.

The Warming Center operates nightly from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, typically November through March.

Transportation is provided from Father Bill’s Kitchen after dinner, with return to our campus at 6:00 AM.

Guests receive a warm place to sleep, a meal, and essential items such as a sleeping bag, socks, and hygiene supplies.

This is a low-barrier, life-saving space focused on safety, dignity, and care during the coldest nights of the year.

If you are in need of help, please call Shelter Services at 208-664-3095 ext. 321 or email annie@stvincentdepaulcda.org

The Men's and Women’s Shelters

Our shelters provide a safe, clean place to rest and begin moving forward.

Each shelter serves up to twelve guests per night. Individuals can check in at the HELP Center each morning at 8:00 AM to inquire about availability.

Guests may stay for up to 90 days. During that time, they work alongside our team to build a plan for what comes next, including housing, income, and long-term stability.

This is a place to regroup, find support, and take meaningful steps forward.
