Urban Abbey

09/30/2026

Winter is fast approaching and the nights are getting colder. Soon the Urban Abbeys emergency overflow shelter will be opening up for the season. Our overflow shelter hosts up to 50 people and is full every night we are open. Our women's shelter (open year round) can sleep 10 women.
By the evening most of our guests have cold, wet feet. More often than not the are ill equipped to spend the days outside.

We are humbly asking the community to donate gently used outerwear (jackets,hats, mitts,boots) new socks (we can never have to many) and new underwear (long and regular for men and women).

If have have any questions please email Lori at [email protected]
