Description

Gateway180 is the largest 24-hour emergency shelter in Missouri. We serve as a temporary home for 150 women, children, and family members experiencing homelessness, with the average age of our client being nine years old. We provide safe shelter, housing programs, empowerment tools & education, children’s services, and connections to resources that are critical in moving individuals and families towards independence, stability, and permanent housing. Our goal is to assist and ensure that the individuals we serve become their own support system, ultimately ending the cycle of generational homelessness.

Our facility currently does not have an AED on the premises and we know that in the case of a cardiac event seconds matter. Having an AED will allow our staff and volunteers to be trained in lifesaving skills that will further benefit our residents.
