How to access food and shelter at Operation Nightwatch
Hours for inside meal service 8:00 pm – 9:30 pm nightly.
Hours for potential shelter placement: 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm nightly.
Each night, we have a limited number of off-site shelter beds available for our guests. There is no guarantee that shelter will be available on any given night.
- To qualify for an men’s overnight shelter bed at our partner organization, Bread of Life, you must show up in person at our Shelter Dispatch Center.
- To qualify for a bed at a Nightwatch church-based men’s shelter you must show up in person at our Shelter Dispatch Center and provide a valid state photo ID (any state).
- Currently we have limited shelter options for women.
Our homeless guests are encouraged to “travel light.” There is no room at Nightwatch shelters to store belongings.
