Due to social distancing and other health precautions, GMC is unable to operate our annual winter shelter. Earlier this year when COVID-19 first halted our normal operations, GMC quickly pivoted and adjusted our Drop-in Center operations. GMC renovated our space to allow for required distancing regulations. Currently, GMC provides guests with daily showers, laundry, lunch, phone access/charging stations, coffee, and access to psychiatric care. 
As part of our ongoing pivot to overcome COVID-19 barriers, GMC is ecstatic to announce the launch of our new winter program: GMC Extends. GMC will now stay open until 7:00pm Monday through Friday. GMC will be serving dinner nightly and have partnered with Feed the Fight DC and local congregations to offer our guests warm dinners. Additionally, GMC will be distributing gift cards, winter clothes and supplies so our guests can be warm, fed, and safe through the coming months. Our normal winter shelter usually houses around a dozen clients. However, through Extends GMC will be able to broaden our reach serving hundreds of individuals during the harsh winter months. GMC has arranged an Amazon wish list of supplies to distribute to our Extends guests. These supplies include: jackets, sleeping bags, gift cards, and water bottles. You can also donate to the GMC Extends fund to help the safe implementation of our new program! Thank you for your support of this new program.
