However, women and children can no longer stay at GWC in our residential programs. GWC works closely with the City of Refuge women’s center in order to get women & children access to the programs, shelter and care they need. Only in extreme weather and temperatures below freezing do we have the capacity to safely open our 1st floor for emergency shelter to all. See more details under “Programs & Services.“
