St. Joseph Missions Women’s Shelter
“It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” — Saint Teresa of Calcutta
It’s in a spirit of love and caring that we feel called, with your help, to serve an at-risk population in the Fort Wayne community – single women experiencing homelessness.
There was no shelter in Fort Wayne exclusively dedicated to serving single women who have nowhere to live, and thus are vulnerable to becoming victims of sex trafficking, violence, and abusive relationships. With the help of our community, we are providing vital emergency housing for these women in need.
