Offering Shelter, in Jesus' Name

The Grace and Peace Winter Shelter has been offering temporary, overnight shelter during the colder months to homeless women of St. Louis since 1986.

The Winter Shelter operates in the basement of Grace and Peace's building in an urban area on the west side of the city. By the grace of God, many suburban churches have sent helping hands and meals. Neighboring churches and agencies have also sent help. As a result, the shelter ministry extends well beyond the boundaries of the congregation of Grace and Peace.

Many women have come back year after year to stay at Grace and Peace during the winter, citing the warm community there that they like to call home. Many have also "graduated" to apartments of their own.

The Winter Shelter receives minimal government funding, relying instead on volunteer helpers and meal providers as well as on donations to cover staff stipends and other expenses.
