Shower and Laundry
When we moved into our new facility in September of 2003 we have been able to offer showers and laundry services to our clients. Each day Monday through Friday we offer showers and laundry services to eight to ten men and women.

Street Outreach
GMC Staff visit the most vulnerable and withdrawn of the homeless on the streets, in the alley’s and under bridges to offer services, a friendly ear or, if nothing else to perhaps prevent a hypothermia death.

Psychiatrist
Since 1997, GMC has brought competent, caring psychiatry to the streets and alleys where homeless people reside. The psychiatrist sees homeless people one evening a week and on an emergency basis as needed. The psychiatrist engages treatment-resistant homeless persons in the center, on the streets and at our shelter.

Congregational Based Shelter (CBS)
GMC started the shelter on a pilot basis for six weeks during the winter of 1993. Today’s program serves ten homeless people beginning in November and ending in mid-April. The shelter is open from 7:00 pm to 7:00 am, seven days a week and rotates semi-monthly among member congregations in Georgetown. The CBS provides an opportunity for shelter residents to establish warm, supportive relationships with staff and volunteers and also among themselves. The CBS employs the safe-haven model encouraged by HUD, offering a comfortable, friendly, low-demand environment designed to appeal to our most vulnerable and service-resistant homeless people.
