Thank you to students from Korean Church of Columbus for helping us & partner agencies during their Urban Plunge! The students helped us and other agencies such as Faith Mission, Our Lady of Peace, Huckleberry House and more. It was a blessing as many tasks we may have not been able to complete were performed by these wonderful, hard working youth!

Our Mission Statement

The Open Shelter is an Advocacy Center & Day Services Shelter for homeless and marginally-housed people in Central Ohio. We provide crucial needs directly to those in crisis. Coordinated, supportive services are also provided, directly or by referral. By providing these tools, we help those who are the most vulnerable in our community.
