The Firehouse Shelter was founded in 1983 as an outreach program for the Cooperative Downtown Ministries. Started for just 12 men and now provides food and shelter for 175 homeless. Our city is so fortunate to have such wonderful programs that provide for those in our community that so desperately need our help.
