St. Francis will host the Emergency Shelter Partnership -
Monday, November 21st - Sunday, December 4th
The Emergency Shelter Partnership is a registered 501(c)3 organization consisting of a coalition of interfaith congregations in Northern Westchester County, NY. We operate through two separate, but similar areas. Our East area covers Armonk, Bedford, Chappaqua, Katonah and Mt. Kisco; our West area covers Briarcliff, Croton, Ossining, Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown. We provide short-term, emergency shelter for those who need shelter during the coldest five months of the winter. We are joined in this effort by community organizations that provide a variety of support services to shelter participants.
