ABOUT

Stewpot’s Opportunity Center day shelter is a “home base” during the daytime hours for people experiencing homelessness. The center offers laundry service, showers, mail service, and computer and phone access, as well as toiletries, snacks, coffee, and community. Case management is available on-site to connect visitors with resources like housing, employment, mental health services, medical care, and other specific needs.

The Opportunity Center also operates, in partnership with the City of Jackson, as an emergency shelter during the cold winter months. When the temperatures fall below 35 degrees, the Center transforms into an overnight shelter with a max capacity of 31 people. Volunteers prepare and serve meals to our guests on these nights.
