Thank You for Joining Us!
Pajaro Valley Shelter Services provides families with a path to stable, self-sufficient futures through short- and longer-term housing and supportive services.
We envision a community where families have safe, secure, and stable housing with sufficient resources and space to plan for their futures and pursue happiness.
At PVSS, families move from shelter to home, from despair to security, from isolation to community, from separated to united, from financial instability to savings and consciousness, from “I can’t” to “I can!”
Join us in celebrating these transformations at our 3rd annual Shelter to Home Benefit Dinner.
NEW & EXCITING! In honor of PVSS’ 36-year history in the Pajaro Valley and an eye on a sustainable future, the event will be held at the Pajaro Valley Historical Association. The association preserves, interprets and promotes the history of the diverse cultures that have shaped the Pajaro Valley. Join us in exploring the many treasures on exhibit at the Bockius-Orr House.
MORE NEW & EXCITING! We will have a silent auction featuring work by PVSS family members – PVSS clients, alumni, volunteers, and donors – accompanied by great bottles of wine.

In March of 2013, I was retired 9 months and looking for an organization for which I could volunteer, with joy. Taking the PVSS tour and meeting the staff, I was greatly impressed and am now quietly astonished at the accomplishments, mission, residents, staff, supporters, governing board, organizational transparency, the standard of accountability required by program participants and the capacity of PVSS to provide successive stages of housing.
Last but not least remarkable is the PVSS decision to remain reliant upon private donors and non-governmental funding rather than access federal funding whose requirement would fundamentally alter the cornerstone purpose and services that form the magnetic core of PVSS.
