MISSION STATEMENT

To Provide shelter, referral services, support, and encouragement to those in need in San Luis Obispo County while enhancing and promoting self-respect, independence and self-reliance for all clients served. Transitional Food and Shelter, Inc. places people in emergency shelter only by referral from agencies such as the Department of Social Services (DSS), Economic Opportunity Commission (EOC), Salvation Army, Mental Health, Loaves and Fishes (L&F), and others. This is our Motel Voucher Program where a person or family is placed for a day or more in an individual shelter while the referring agency arranges for housing and/or other needs. In addition, TFS sponsors PEOPLES KITCHEN, served by volunteer churches and civic community organizations. The meal is free to low income families and people who find themselves homeless. It is served between 5:00 and 6:00 PM at the Second Baptist Church, 1937 Riverside Ave., Paso Robles, Monday through Friday.
