COVID-19
While many pandemic restrictions have eased somewhat, the fact that we are a small shelter with limited capacity to isolate infected individuals has encouraged us to continue to employ various preventive measures in order to protect the Bethesda House community. Find out more.
A small shelter with a big vision
As a shelter with limited space - just six beds - the scope of our vision exceeds our actual size. By also focusing on outreach and education, we contribute to the efforts of others to shape the narrative about violence against women in the hope of eliminating it in our community.
