The Maidstone Churches Winter Shelter has, since its launch in 2013, provided a bed, hot food and a safe friendly environment for Maidstone's many homeless people at churches around the town every night of the winter months.

The shelter not only provides refuge overnight but seeks to help those coming through its doors to find accommodation of their own.

CONNECT Church has been pleased to support the shelter since its launch by providing a number of volunteers.
