The Story of the St. Andrew’s Family Shelter
In April 2017, St. Andrew’s announced its plans to open a new Family Shelter in response to continued need. The St. Andrew’s Community Resource Center currently shelters 7-10 families each week at the Oakdale location. The decision to extend the reach to serve neighbors in the northern end of Washington County with the new shelter at St. Genevieve Catholic Church in Hugo on Hwy. 61.
The St. Andrew’s Family Shelter in Hugo is able to shelter up to five additional families in need. That’s five more families who are able to sleep in a warm house with running water. Five more families who get assistance to rebuild their lives. Five more families that are transformed and shown love by the community in their time of need.
Renovations to the interior and exterior, with the help of many volunteers and partners from the community, have brought the new St. Andrew’s Family Shelter to life.
