Every night, Nightwatch staff and volunteers help homeless adults get food and shelter.
A delicious, hot meal is served at 8:00 p.m., using mostly donated food prepared by volunteers with help from our staff. A small number of people who are experiencing homelessness are then able to receive shelter, at one of our two church-based sites. We currently have one men’s shelter, and launched a new women’s shelter this year. Learn more about our expanded women’s shelter project here.
Unfortunately, there are not enough emergency shelter beds for all who need them. During the winter months we regularly give out blankets and socks to people who have to sleep outside.
Sadly, over 16,000 people are unhoused in King County each night. That’s why our evening meal and emergency shelter are so important. No one gets stable if they are sleeping in an alley and don’t have access to basic services.
