The Sophia Way will extend its emergency winter shelter for women, children and families for more than two months until the end of May. Also, the organization will take over the operations of the Angeline’s Day Center at Sophia’s Place from its long-standing partner, the YWCA.

The recent benefit dinner and auction raised more than $100,000 with funds going to help the homeless.

The day center serving up to 40 women each day, Monday through Friday. The program includes two hot meals, shower and laundry facilities, a comfortable place to rest, computer and phone access, and additional resources which include nursing and dental services. Recent donations from the Rotary Club of Sammamish and St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Medina provided five state-of-the-art computers, printers and the latest computer operating systems.

The emergency winter shelter and day center are located at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, 3030 Bellevue Way N.E., Bellevue.
