About The Shade Tree Shelter's Mission

To provide safe shelter to homeless and abused women and children in crisis and to offer life-changing services promoting stability, dignity, and self-reliance.

The Shade Tree Vision...

Self-reliance for every woman and child.

At The Shade Tree, we believe...

That no one should ever have to endure a state of homelessness, existing in fear for personal safety
and without the means to meet even the most
basic of human needs - food and shelter.
That every human being, regardless of social status, has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.
That all homeless children are victims because they lack choice and mobility.
That homelessness is a community problem that impacts everyone.
That everyone can be a part of the solution.

Please join with GALS Charitable Foundation and Gerard Butler Fans to help provide safe shelter to homeless and abused women and children in crisis.
