WHAT IS THE MAUREEN'S HAVEN HOMELESS OUTREACH PROGRAM?
Every evening during the winter months, November through March, homeless guests are screened and transported from the North and South Forks of Long Island to one of the host Houses of Worship between Greenport and East Hampton.
Upon arrival to the host site, the homeless guests are welcomed and are registered by church volunteers. Guests then proceed to the sleeping areas to claim their bed and put down their personal belongings.
Guests are provided with a nutritious, hot dinner, prepared by volunteers or provided by Maureen's Haven.
After dinner guests are given the opportunity get warm clothes, play board games, watch a movie or just rest.
Volunteers stay to monitor the guests overnight. At day break (5 am) a breakfast crew arrives to prepare and serve a substantial, hearty morning meal. In addition, a bagged lunch is prepared for each guest to take with them upon departure.
The volunteer clean up crew begins to break down the beds and collect the bedding and towels for laundering at 6:30 am. The floors are swept and disinfected, bathrooms are sanitized and the kitchen is cleaned.
Promply at 7:00 am the guests leave and are transported back to where they originated.
