Nellie's

Nellie's Empowering women and their children to build a new path for life.

Nellie’s is a place of respite and rejuvenation for women* and their children navigating a variety of challenges. Through community outreach, skill-building programs, and space for the unhoused to find shelter, clients are empowered to take steps to change their lives. We welcome people who seek guidance as they reclaim their strength and tap into their resilience to find a new path for their life

. The individuals who come through the shelter or access our community outreach programs come to us with unique experiences and needs. Nellie’s mandate to help ALL women and their children, regardless of circumstances is what makes the organization’s work essential.

*Nellie’s affirms the inclusion of trans women and non-binary people in our vision of who we serve and support.
