Laurel Winter Shelter
From November-March, homeless adults (men and women age 18+) can visit LARS during operating hours to complete an intake for the Laurel Winter Shelter, which rotates among local congregations throughout the winter season. LARS provides weekly outreach to congregation host sites to ensure that guests are connected with the resources they need to regain stability.
