We are a coalition of interfaith congregations that operate in two separate, but similar areas. Our East area covers Armonk, Bedford, Chappaqua, Katonah and Mt. Kisco; our West area covers Briarcliff, Croton, Ossining, Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown. We provide overnight shelter and warm nutritious meals to homeless adults during the coldest months of the year. We are joined in this effort by community organizations that provide a variety of support services to shelter participants.

Due to COVID-19 our operations this season are streamlined. Our guests stay at the host location for several weeks at a time and supporting congregations provide food each night for a week at a time. ESP has taken extensive steps to ensure that our guests, volunteers and supervisors are in the safest possible environment – we have installed partitions, have health and wellness checks, daily sanitizing practices.
