Providing shelter support and hope.

Homelessness is a pervasive and complex issue that affects individuals and families from all walks of life. 

At Cumberland Family Shelter, we understand the challenges that come with homelessness and are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for those in need.

Providing shelter and much more

At the Cumberland Family Shelter, our approach goes beyond just providing a roof over someone’s head and fulfilling their basic needs. Our team of professionals’ guide guests through available services, helping them determine their next steps toward stability. Personalized support ensures that each guest receives the assistance they need with dignity and respect, fostering an environment where they can regain their footing.

For children staying at the shelter, creating a safe and engaging environment with activities and events demonstrates our commitment to their well-being beyond basic shelter needs. This integrated approach acknowledges the importance of emotional and developmental support for young guests during what can be a challenging time in their young lives.

Our organization relies on the support of dedicated volunteers like you to be the difference in the lives of those we serve. Whether you have a few hours to spare or want to commit to a regular schedule, there are many ways to get involved and make a positive impact.


We offer a range of volunteer opportunities, including direct service with clients, administrative tasks, and special events. So why not take the next step and join us in our mission to create positive change in our community? We look forward to working with you!
