What is The Shade Tree?
The Shade Tree began as Jubilee Ministries to serve abused and homeless women and children in 1989 and officially became The Shade Tree in 1990. The shelter provides immediate safety from the harshness of the streets or the violence in some homes. It is the only 24-hour accessible shelter designed specifically to meet the needs of homeless and abused women and children in Southern Nevada. With 364 beds, it is the largest shelter of its kind in the state.

“Because of The Shade Tree, me and my mom had a better chance to get back on our feet. The Shade Tree treated us with respect and we respected them. Being at The Shade Tree was like having a second family. We are now back on our feet and being successful in life now.”
-Former teenage resident of The Shade Tree
“Thank you, Shade Tree, thank you! Me and my cats walk into The Shade Tree with a full understanding of how blessed we are
to be here. Wow! I had no idea how blessed! One of my cats became ill and just hours from being euthanized; my angels (the staff at
Noah’s Animal House) came to his rescue! Melody was his buddy lending a helping hand. Jeanie was his aunt; loving and kind everyday. Crystal was his nurse and friend; and so much more.”
-“Marissa”
