Open every winter from Nov 1 through April 30, SAM's House Emergency Shelter is the only homeless shelter in Shawano County. SAM's House provides meals and a safe, warm place to sleep for women, men and families with children who are without shelter. All shelter guests participate in a mentor program "Steps to Success" to help them get back on their feet and successfully out of shelter to permanent housing and employment. We are currently in our 7th shelter season.
