Family Shelter (Sacramento)
Volunteers of America's Family Shelter, which opened in October 2009, is a unique shelter in Sacramento, designed to accommodate couples with children, single fathers with children, and families with teenage boys. The needs of as many as 12 families are met here, with 62 beds, and three meals provided daily as well as support services including transportation to and from school, permanent housing referrals and educational and job-search information.
There are a host of volunteer opportunities associated with the Family Shelter, including our monthly Birthday Wishes events. We also offer regularly scheduled program tours of the Family Shelter program.
