Corona Virus (Covid-19) Update

Many may think that The Sheltering Tree closed its doors during the Covid-19 Pandemic. That is not true. We did have to refrain from our normal full operation, however, we continued to operate to help the less fortunate here in Flagler County.

During the Covid-19 pandemic the Sheltering Tree provided the following assistance to Flagler County residents, despite our offices being partially closed during this uncertain, yet unchanging time:

Florida ID for homeless persons
Utility deposits for homeless families
Birth certificates for inmates who will be released soon: STRIDE Program
Temporary motel stay for homeless families moving into rental homes
Medication for homeless clients
Bike repair and free bikes to homeless people on Tuesdays
Security deposits for Section 8 families referred from Flagler County Human Services
