About Shelter Source
Not all those who wander are lost.
Our Mission
Shelter Source is a crowdsourced application enabling organizations and people to share resources with the community. We provide access to traditionally word-of-mouth resources that aren't readily available through traditional channels — helping those who need them most find what they need, when they need it.
