*Goodwill VISTA* Hundred Nights Volunteer Coordinator VISTA
Hundred Nights is a year-round low-barrier emergency shelter and resource center that provides shelter and crisis-related resources to individuals and families at risk of or experiencing homelessness in southwestern New Hampshire. The agency was founded in 2010 to provide homeless residents with a warm place to stay during the coldest one hundred nights of the year when beds were unavailable at other shelters. Now, 15 years into our mission, Hundred Nights continues to help those who have no other option. Our overnight shelter provides 48 beds to men, women and families each night. Our resource center serves an additional 100+ people each month providing meals, shower, laundry, public restrooms, access to case management services, and access to our donation center for clothing and personal care items. In the colder winter months, our resource center remains open 24/7 to provide a warm place out of the elements for our community members with no place else to go. With housing becoming increasingly difficult to find and/or keep with increased rental costs, Hundred Nights has seen many more people seeking a bed and our other services to meet their basic needs of food and shelter. To learn more about our organization and the services we provide, please visit hundrednightsinc.org.
