ST. PAUL’S PATERSON MEN’S SHELTER 

St. Paul’s mission is to alleviate the pervasive conditions of homelessness, unemployment, poverty and illiteracy in the City of Paterson.  The Men’s Shelter provides emergency services to all in need and design long-term approaches for social and economic improvement at the grassroots level.  They provide housing, clothing and food to as many as fifty men every night.  The shelter staff work to make each client's stay as brief and helpful as possible by providing referrals for housing, employment, mental health and rehabilitation services. The Shelter relies on volunteer support from nearly 30 area churches and over three hundred volunteers per year who bring prepared food and serve hot meals each night. 

St David’s volunteers provide food and cook and serve meals on a regular basis for the Shelter.
