Safe Nights

HUMC hosts one week during the winter months

2023 Date TBD

The Safe Nights program is dedicated to protecting the homeless from the cold by providing shelter in a clean and safe environment.  As a Host shelter, HUMC provides a cot and three nutritious meals (breakfast, dinner and a bag lunch).   The warm meals offer an opportunity to really connect and be the light of Christ to our homeless neighbors.

Project Echo

Help us prepare or coordinate meals the 2nd Friday of each month.

Project Echo is a transitional shelter. The aim is to create a living area where the residents can take time out from surviving and focus on getting their lives in order in a safe, drug and alcohol free environment so they can move on to being productive and happy members of society. HUMC has a long-standing partnership with Project Echo, and one of our missions is to provide meals to approximately 40 Project Echo residents once a month.
