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 8th shelter season.
During the 2021 - 2022 season, SAM25 provided 1925 nights of stay to 64 guests (47 adults and 17 children) and 5700+ meals were provided by our community. Thank you to all who have helped in any way! You help make make the important work we do here in our community possible.
