In addition, the NCM staff – Case Manager, Program Director, and Shelter Monitors – assists the men as they work toward stability and independence by providing various services and supports, including:
  • Respect and Dignity

  • Donated Clothes and toiletries

  • Referrals to counseling for substance abuse and mental health support

  • Weekly medical clinic

  • Counseling from the Veterans Administration

  • Spiritual nuturing, counseling and support from volunteer clergy and laypersons


How can you help the men at the Pleasant Valley Emergency Shelter? Consider holding a toiletrie or underwear drive at your church, school, community group or office.

Additionally mens underwear (sizes 32-44), tee shirts (medium to 3xl) and tube socksa are always in demand --consider having a boxers or briefs collection.
