Texoma Family Shelter
Our Shelter
Texoma Family Shelter has served the Texoma area for over 38 years.
We are the only 24/7/365 homeless shelter in the region for displaced families and individuals seeking to rebuild their lives.
Texoma Family Shelter empowers homeless families and individuals to achieve self-sufficiency by providing safe lodging, meals, and case management during extended stays.
