About Us

Reach Out Overnight Shelter Programs provide shelter, daily meals and case management to adults without homes in South King County. This year the shelter will open on October 1, 2015 and operate through March 31, 2016. This is an expansion from five months of service to six months.  Reach Out relies on partnerships with area congregations, community organizations, businesses, and public and private contributors, as well as many caring individuals and families. The program’s goal is to serve those in need by providing support to assist them in achieving self-sufficiency, in turn strengthening our community. Each shelter season, Reach Out clients receive a warm meal in the evening, breakfast in the morning and leave for the day with a sack lunch.  Thanks to the hard work and contributions of many, Reach Out clients receive help that can lead to a stable living environment. 

We welcome your support in any way that you are able and willing to give: time, energy, resources, monetary donations and prayers. 

Reach Out Men's and Women's shelters are both currently closed but will open on October 1, 2015. Intake interviews are required prior to admittance into the program.

Intake for the 2015/2016 Season begins on September 14, 2015 at New Hope Christian Fellowship in Federal Way (31411 6^th Ave. S) and will continue throughout the season on Tuesdays & Wednesdays  11am – 1:00 pm.
