At about 5:30 p.m. every day, families begin to trickle through the doors of Interfaith Sanctuary, a night shelter on River Street that’s visible from the eastbound Connector.

Parents with children are invited in first each night, and then the single men and women.

Shelter guests help staff wheel large plastic tubs with guests’ belongings out of locked storage units. They set up tables and chairs in one of the hospitality rooms. They stir a large pot of soup provided by Life’s Kitchen five days a week.

It’s a calm, orderly and friendly process that repeats itself night after night.
