REST is a rotating shelter. Each week, a different local church hosts the shelter at their facility. During the winter of 2020-2021, REST had to modify its shelter model to a single location due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Cornerstone Church of Yuba City donated the use of its buildings to serve as the shelter for five months while REST’s other partner churches took turns delivering meals to the shelter. REST is very grateful to Cornerstone Church and all its partner churches for pulling together during this difficult time to serve people experiencing homelessness. This winter (2021-2022) REST hopes to return to its traditional rotating shelter model so all its partner churches can share in the joy of providing shelter and hospitality to those in need.
REST is entirely dependent on the generosity of area churches to provide overnight shelter and hot meals for our homeless guests. The following churches opened their facilities for the 2019-20 season (not listed in any particular order):
