Peace to the People- Emergency Shelter

The mission of Peace to the People is to provide the unhoused folks in our community with a safe place out of the cold or heat.  The church provides a Weather Relief Center during specific times when temperatures are dangerous, and at times they can provide showers and food as well.

People in need of this assistance can check the Peace to the People Facebook page or call the church directly to find out more.

What is given out?
Every family that comes through will receive roughly the same amount; family size has no bearing on the amount they will receive.
No worries, it is usually a lot!
How does it run?
St. Louis Area Foodbank brings food to the various locations the day of distributions. Clients line up in their cars and volunteers assist
with the repackaging and distribution. The clients do not even have to get out of their cars!
What if it’s cancelled?
This is an OUTDOOR distribution, which means weather is a primary factor when considering cancellations. A general rule we follow
is if schools are closed, MM is closed. Cancellations can happen for several reasons. Weather, truck issues, volunteer support, in any
instance we will follow the same protocol for the cancellation. An agency wide email will be sent out as soon as the decision is made,
an email will be sent to all clients who are sign up on the list, our Facebook page will have the cancellation information.
