The Men’s Shelter


The Haven's Men's Shelter is the oldest division of the Haven of Rest, originally designed to provide meals, shelter and the Gospel message to homeless men. Since 1956 the Haven's objective has grown to provide those we serve with necessary life skills to become self-sufficient members of the community.
