TRAVERSE CITY -- Area churches are banding together to help the homeless stay warm this winter, but volunteers are needed to make sure its a success.
Safe Harbor is a program that helps those who are homeless by giving them a place to stay, warm clothes and meals. Everything is provided by local churches who host those in need for two weeks at a time. This year, 23 churches have teamed up for the program. To learn more about volunteering your time click on gtsafeharbor.org.
The Shelter opens each night at 6pm and guests can not be on Church property before 5:45pm. The Shelter will lock its doors at 8pm each night until 6:00am the next morning. In some cases transportation is provided by church vans.
