What we do

For the past 8 years, the Blackstone Valley Emergency Shelter, with the help of volunteers and the community at large, has successfully provided emergency shelter to those in need, particularly during the coldest nights of the winter.  We work with individuals and families who are experiencing homelessness or an emergency situation and are located in the Blackstone Valley area.

Our Mission

To give people in an emergency situation a place to stay.

​

Our Vision

The Blackstone Valley Emergency Shelter will be a safe place that links people in distressful situations to providers of services they may need or want. These services could include a warming shelter, job training, addiction support, facilities for personal hygiene, mentoring, counseling, and consistent accountability. Our objective is not only to provide temporary assistance but to walk with individual and families

in their adverse circumstances.

Our Fundraisers

We have two big fundraisers throughout the year: our spring Blackstone Valley Tasting Event and our holiday Festival of Trees!

Our work depends on the support of our community through these two annual fundraisers.   Check back here for details as these events draw near. You can also learn more on our FB page​
 

We would love to have you help us give the homeless - HOPE!
