The Welcome House of South County is a long-standing nonprofit homeless services organization in Peace Dale, Rhode Island. It was established in 1987 with the goal of addressing homelessness in Washington (“South”) County.  Serving the community for nearly four decades. the organization has operated an emergency shelter and expanded services to include a soup kitchen, transitional housing, and supportive services for individuals in need. Over the years, Welcome House has become a trusted local resource for those experiencing crisis, helping hundreds of people with shelter, meals, and pathways toward stable living situations.

​

In 2022, Welcome House became part of the broader WARM Center network (Westerly area) which helped strengthen its programs while keeping its core mission intact and continuing the compassionate services the community has relied on.

​

The mission of Welcome House is to end homelessness and support people in finding stability and dignity. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, it provides:

​

• Emergency shelter with safe, sober accommodations for adults in crisis.

• A soup kitchen that has served thousands of meals annually to those in need.

• Transitional housing and case management services designed to help individuals move toward permanent housing and self-sufficiency.

 

Through these services, Welcome House works to offer safety, support, and opportunities for long-term stability to people facing homelessness, treating each person with respect and dignity as they work toward rebuilding their lives.
