Did you know that ANYTIME temperatures dip below 40 degrees, The Salvation Army of Coastal Alabama opens our doors as an emergency shelter?
In addition to the 28 beds that we use for the homeless every night, we will put out cots and take anyone in need of a safe, warm place to sleep. Everyone is served dinner and a hot breakfast the next morning.
When there is extreme cold weather, we open as a 24-hour emergency shelter – providing breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as coffee and water during the day.
Last winter, we have had:
- More than 40 nights of emergency shelter operations
- More than 2,500 people sheltered on emergency nights
- More than 6,000 meals served during emergency operations
Our shelter is located at 1009 Dauphin Street, Mobile, AL 36604.
