FAQ
Our Facility:
The shelter has an east and west wing. The east wing houses executive staff, classroom, art room, library and visitation room that is provided for area agencies to hold supervised visitations. Our west wing has 8 bedrooms that can accommodate 2 children each, a nursery and toddler room. We also have a movie room, game room, activity room, kitchen, dining room, and a huge fenced-in, outside play area that includes a children’s playground.
Where we are:
The shelter is located at 301 East Garland Street, West Frankfort, Illinois. It is housed in the Roan Center, named after Gary Roan of West Frankfort. Gary, along with Glenn Poshard and the Poshard Foundation, were instrumental in raising and donating the first $125,000 for the shelter. Those funds were used to begin renovations of the building that was donated by Shay Bellows from Chicago.
