Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program

I-HELP offers program participants shelter and meals in over two dozen Monterey Peninsula congregations. The heart and backbone of our program operation are the hundreds of dedicated volunteers providing compassionate hospitality.

Each evening, I-HELP transports single homeless men from central pick-up points to a hosting faith community where they spend the night. I-HELP’s ever-growing services also include job placement and housing assistance, clothing, and specialized referrals meeting the individual needs of participants.

Pick-up Location: Parking lot along the Monterey Rec Trail across from the Naval Postgraduate School’s Del Monte Gate. The address is approximately 1951 Del Monte Avenue. The Monterey-Salinas Transit bus stop is “Del Monte/NPS”, which is served by lines 12, 55, 71, 72, 74, 75, 76, and 78 as of 31 March 2016.

Men seeking to participate should arrive no later than 4:30pm. No reservations are taken for new participants.
