Shelter
In 2023, we opened our first Code Blue Shelter at the Church on the Mall in Plymouth Meeting.
Our shelters provide more than just a place to stay—they offer hot meals, a safe place to sleep, breakfast bags, and other essential items. Above all, we are committed to treating every guest with compassion, dignity, and respect. In return, we ask that our guests extend the same courtesy to our volunteers, staff, and one another. Together, we foster a welcoming environment where kindness, hope, and dignity can thrive.
We are always looking for individuals who want to make a difference. No special experience is required—just a willingness to serve with compassion. Orientation and training are provided to all volunteers, equipping you with the tools and support needed to serve confidently. If this sounds like something you might be interested in please email us at: Shelter@TLCforthepeople.org
Outreach
Since 2020, our outreach efforts have been made possible through the dedication of volunteers and the support of our nonprofit partners. Together, we collect donations of clothing and hygiene supplies, prepare bagged lunches, and provide fresh fruit and bottled water for those we serve.
Volunteers play a vital role in every stage of our outreach. They transport donated items from our storage facility to the outreach site, distribute essential supplies, and build meaningful connections by engaging with members of the community with compassion and respect.
To prepare for each event, we also host sorting sessions throughout the month. These flexible 1–2 hour opportunities allow volunteers to organize and prepare donations, ensuring everything is ready for a successful outreach.

Advocacy
Advocacy is one of the most powerful and lasting ways we can help end homelessness. While meeting immediate needs through food, shelter, and essential resources is critical, creating lasting change requires addressing the systemic issues that contribute to housing insecurity. By engaging elected officials and policymakers at the local, county, state, and federal levels, we advocate for thoughtful policies, increased resources, and meaningful investments that support those experiencing homelessness.
Through education, community engagement, and collective action, we empower our supporters to raise their voices and help advance solutions that expand access to affordable housing, strengthen supportive services, and create pathways to long-term stability. Together, we can build stronger communities and promote compassionate, sustainable solutions that address homelessness at its root.
