APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — As winter weather approaches, many homeless shelters experience increased demand.
Pillars adult shelter in Appleton guides people from homelessness to coming home. They provide shelter, support and solutions to address housing needs in the community.
The adult shelter strives off volunteers.

We do our best to keep our beds full, and we’re often working off a wait list,” said Sarah Dearing, Crisis Housing Advocate with Pillars. “To be able to provide stable housing and stable meals to our clients so they can function at their best is really important to us.”
