Joseph's House & Shelter, based in Troy, New York, is dedicated to providing non-judgmental services aimed at ending homelessness. They offer a range of programs, including emergency shelters, street outreach, and supported housing for individuals and families in the Capital Region. Their mission emphasizes treating each person with dignity and respect, empowering guests and tenants to make healthier choices. 

​

Community dinners, such as those provided by CBUMC, play a vital role in supporting local residents by offering free meals, with goodwill donations appreciated. Any perishable leftovers from these dinners are donated to Joseph's House & Shelter and the ARC of Rensselaer. This collaboration not only addresses immediate food needs but also fosters a community spirit of care and support.

 

Joseph's House & Shelter relies heavily on community involvement and offers various volunteer opportunities. Volunteers can assist with preparing and serving meals, engaging in hospitality tasks, or participating in outreach programs. These efforts are crucial in sustaining their mission and providing essential services to those in need. 
