St. Martin de Porres Shelter is an overnight shelter for homeless men age 50 and older run by Catholic Community Services of Western Washington. The shelter provides safe and dignified shelter for up to 212 men a night. It is open from 6:30pm to 7:30am 365 nights a year and during the day for medical convalescent care. During the winter months, they operate a satelitte shelter network at eight local churches, allowing them to extend services to an additional 34 men a night.
Every Sunday, members from an OLG volunteer team take turns picking up donated food from a local restaurant and delivering it to the residents at St. Martin's. If you're interested in giving an hour one Sunday a month, please contact Joan at 206-938-0851. All drivers are required to fill out an Archdiocesan Driver Form.
