Special Instructions

Who do they serve? Contact has two shelters: the transitional shelter upstairs serves homeless mothers and their children for a period up to 6 months. The emergency shelter downstairs serve homeless mothers and their children on a day-by-day basis (they check in every evening). How do I get there? Contact is located at 1100 E. Adams. When you pull into the lot, there are two doors. Go to the door on the right and push the doorbell for donations. When should I go? We serve at Contact Ministries the third Tuesday of every month. Please plan to have dinner there before 5 pm. How many should i plan to feed? Generally they need meals for between 40-50 people. To get a more accurate count, contact them the week before you serve at 753-3939. What should I feed them? Plan to provide a main dish, side and dessert for EACH shelter. They should be in separate containers for each shelter. They do not eat in the same spaces. They have one location on the first floor and one located on the second. What is the environment like? Contact Ministries has two areas—the emergency shelter and the transitional. Downstairs in the emergency shelter, they are very busy and crowded with intake and meals all at the same time, all in the same space. Please plan to just drop off the food for them there. The transitional shelter has more space, and a dining room. If you plan ahead with the shelter director, you can come and have dinner with the families. You can even come and cook with them! They have a kitchen area. Just call ahead and ask for the transitional shelter director to make arrangements. (753-3939)
