Welcome

In years past we operated as the "Fall River Overflow Shelter" directed by Solomons Porch.

The city of Fall River has 1 shelter for the homeless community. First Step Inn houses 20 full time beds throughout the year to offer a place to connect and help those who desperately need a helping hand. In the colder months this homeless shelter adds an "Overflow" area that houses another 30 beds. Thats a total of 50 beds. 

***Due to the current pandemic the typical number of 50 beds is being reduced to 35***

Sadly in 2018, the homeless population climbed even higher than what the First Step Inn could handle. In the past we have opened an "Emergency Shelter" for 10 weeks to provide assistance to the First Step Inn with their goal to help people get off the streets. A great place for community service. This year with COVID 19 we are attempting to open for 13 weeks, beginning much earlier and staying open a bit longer than previous years. 

Our program has a "Zero Tolerance" policy for drugs and alcohol and is projected to run December 22, 2021 through March 23, 2022. We are currently seeking volunteers to join with us to serve in this amazing mission of loving "Extraordinary people in transition".
