Eau Claire Interfaith Hospitality Network, Inc.
Serving families and pregnant women who are temporarily homeless or at risk of homelessness by providing resources for emergency assistance, stabilization, and prevention.
Welcome
Last night you probably slept in your own bed in your own home or apartment. Today you woke up, got dressed, ate breakfast and went about your day. Unfortunately, many families in the Eau Claire area don't have this luxury. For these families, "home" is a car, tent, or the floor or couch of a friend.
The downturn in the economy has affected everyone. As a result, the demand for ECIHN's services has increased.
During 2010:
- 59 families received shelter
- 63 adults received shelter
- 83 children received shelter
- 5,048 nights of shelter were provided at Beacon House
- 8,939 volunteer hours were provided
- 14,489 meals were served
We are truly a team effort requiring the combined talents of our staff, volunteers, congregations and board of directors.
Beacon House is a permanent shelter established in 2001. Transitional housing was established in 2010.
Each day of the year, volunteers provide meals and personal attention to those using the shelter.
