WELCOME CENTER

HOW THE WELCOME CENTER OPERATES (when open for the winter season)

Guests can meet at the Welcome Center where a charter bus takes them to the church hosting the shelter for that night.

Guests are invited to register each day. The registration process includes showing proof of TB testing (or signing up for TB testing), and signing up for chores. Guests can take showers, do some laundry, get hot drinks and snacks, or just relax, read or watch TV. They can leave their belongings for the night in a bag or in a crate in a locked room.

Guests must agree to the house regulations their hosts expect them to observe while on their premises.


Our new Welcome Center is that cute spanish-looking house located right next to the Grass Valley United Methodist Church, 236 South Church Street in Grass Valley.

We are thrilled to be given the privilege to operate in such a beautiful place, with plenty of room to relax, two bathrooms to take showers, laundry facilities, and more. Looks really like home!


But ... we have grown a lot and will need a new space soon.
