Who is SHELTER, Inc.? The mission of SHELTER, Inc.
is to prevent and end homelessness among low-income residents of Contra Costa
County by providing resources that lead to self-sufficiency.
Why: The economic crisis continues for many
families in our community. A layoff, foreclosure, health crisis, or unexpected

provide the basic necessities such as food, clothing and shelter to loved ones
this holiday season.
