A collaborative effort of local churches and the Washington County Community.
The S.O.S. serves homeless men, women and couples without children during the coldest months of the winter giving them a safe, warm place to stay overnight. The shelter welcomes guests with a hearty supper upon arrival and also provides guests with a breakfast in the morning prior to leaving. The shelter is hosted at Sonrise Church and made possible by the support of over 200 volunteers for 22 area churches and the community of Washington County. The volunteers perform a variety of duties including checking-in guests, preparing the evening meal and serving as evening and overnight hosts.

We will always maintain a safe environment for our guests and volunteers. We strive to be good stewards of the resources and trust given to us by our supporters and the church in which we operate.
