‼️Emergency weather protocols in effect With wind chills expected to reach a low of -25 today, we have temporarily implemented our daylong winter weekend hours. This allows those who stayed at the shelter last night to remain indoors today. In addition, because Safe Harbor's 74-bed lodging is frequently at or over capacity, we're continuing to offer bus passes to Goodwill Northern Michigan, which recently activated its own hypothermic weather protocol called Code Blue—this allows Goodwill Inn to exceed its typical 126-bed capacity, 60 of which are reserved for families. Please stay safe, everyone. If you have questions, please contact the shelter at 231-944-0283.
About Safe Harbor
Food, Shelter, Hope
Safe Harbor supports the physical and spiritual welfare of people experiencing homelessness by providing emergency shelter, food, and hope.
We operate a non-profit, volunteer-run Seasonal Emergency Shelter and a year-round Housing & Human Services Resource Center. As part of the Continuum of Care, we also focus on community partnerships in order to better collaborate on long-term solutions to ending homelessness in our region.
Why Volunteer
Since 2004, thousands of volunteers have given their time and love to help others in their community through Safe Harbor. We operate from mid-October through April to keep those experiencing homelessness safe from the winter elements. The more you learn about our people, our guests and our mission, the more you’ll want to join us.
