The shelter helps me with getting showers and clean clothes. They also help me with new clothes and shoes. I love the compassion of the staff. They are my 4 angels from the very beginning of my journey with them. God has blessed me with them. When I first come out on the streets and desparate and they gave me hope and kept me alive and gave me faith in God.
I have been volunteering with THS for several years. This organization serves those struggling with homelessness and other basic needs. The leadership and volunteers are loving and supportive to guests while encouraging them to improve their individual situations. This organization is Christian based, offers online Bible studies and assists guests to walk more closely with Christ.
THS is a terrific organization that serves the homeless and others with shelter, utility bills, job searches, identification, and lots of others things to make life better. Truly a blessing to have THS in our community!
I have volunteered for the nonprofit and have always felt welcomed and invited. I have witnessed the compassion and love of the people here towards those that are in need.
they reach out to all those who have contacted them so they can assist in many ways financially and spiritually. They work with other organizations and the community very cohesively. I feel the community is blessed by their loving efforts.
I have been involved with THS Emergency Shelter, Inc. since it founding in January 2014. THSES first began as an emergency shelter that opened in severe winter weather. Our non profit status was acquired in May 2015. Since that time many programs have grown out of this beginning. A Resource Day was held once a month, and later a one day a week program was started. From this a benevolence program, HopeFirst, was birthed to help homeless and those in need.
Due to COVID there are no on sight programs held, but much is done to help shelter, provide food, acquire needed documents, pay utilities and other necessary assistance to help sustain a productive life in the community. THSES is there to offer a "hand up" to those in need and to support them in their spiritual walk with God.
THSES has grown as a major Non Profit in the community . We have partnered with other organization like, Pathways, Carroll Mental Health Advocates, Carrollton Police and others to assist those in need.
THSES ministers to not only those in need but also to those who volunteer. We are an all volunteer agency so therefore most all proceeds go directly to assisting our guests.
It is an honor to be a part of the THS Emergency Shelter and a privilege to be able to rate this outstanding Non profit organization.

THS Shelter serves an invaluable purpose in our community by caring for those experiencing homelessness and critical need through sheltering and other assistance. The volunteers tirelessly minister to those who are most marginalized with the utmost compassion. The volunteers uphold the dignity of each guest as they empathetically coach individuals towards a more abundant life. It has been a privilege serving on the Board of Directors and I look forward to seeing the capacity of this ministry grow and flourish in the years ahead.
I 've had the honor this year of working with THS and MOST DEFINITELY know how extremely valuable to the homeless/destitute in Carroll County they are. I volunteered to contact the people via the phone who were seeking food and shelter. I took all their information and heard their many different heart-wrenching stories about losing their jobs, their homes and living in a car with no food!! Husband, wife and 2 kids and a family pet - just so many traumatic stories of horrible circumstances happening through no fault of their own! I followed up with 5 of the families after THS provided short stay hotels and food and referred them to other agencies for other needs. These people were given hope, given counseling - both spiritual and emotional- and because of this assistance, their lives all improved! I met 2 of the families who were grateful beyond words - many tears - because THS gave them a chance and helped them when they had nowhere else to turn. God Bless the THS tireless volunteers who pour out their caring assistance and show people the way to, or back to, our Lord!!
