Ruth's Place is the only emergency shelter for women in Luzerne County. A program of Volunteers of America of Pennsylvania, Ruth's Place offers women a supportive space to focus on personal development and to find permanent housing and employment.
Volunteers of America Pennsylvania provides community-based assistance to vulnerable populations—the elderly, people with disabilities, at-risk youth, veterans, those experiencing homelessness, and those recovering from addiction—to enable them to lead self-fulfilled, independent lives.
Ruths Place is the only emergency shelter for women in Luzerne County. A program of Volunteers of America of Pennsylvania, we operate a 24/7, 21-bed, open floor plan facility. Since its inception in 2003, the shelter has housed over 2,790 women and has provided over 64,950 nights of lodging. Ruths Place offers women a supportive space to focus on personal development and to find permanent housing and employment.
Your investment in Ruths Place, through a generous contribution or participation on a team, will help us reach our primary goal of continuing to provide programs and services to the women in our community to need support to become self-sufficient. Many women are one paycheck or domestic abuse incident away from becoming homeless. Your support will help to provide stability and hope!
