McKemie Place - Shelter for Women

McKemie Place is the only temporary emergency shelter for unaccompanied women 18 years old or older in our Region.

  • Each client that comes to McKemie Place is required to have bi-weekly meetings with our case manager in effort to create and achieve goals that enable them to regain their independence. We connect women with local resources to help them grow spiritually and leave us in better mental and emotional health ready to sustain long term self-sufficiency.
  • We do not discriminate in providing services to anyone based on their religion or beliefs. Our clients can voluntarily choose to participate in any services offered by the local faith-based community.
  • Women needing our services should contact the shelter at 251.287.2225 to speak with a staff person and go through a brief phone screening. Our phones are answered 24 hours per day. Information is also available on our website: McKemiePlace.org.
