Generating Hope

Generating Hope’s major project, Noah’s Ark, provides the only emergency overnight shelter and multi-service drop-in center for chronic homeless and individuals/families at risk on the Yakama Indian Reservation and serves Yakima’s lower valley.

Our shelter and service center has given people a Beacon of Light where before they found only darkness for more than a decade.

​Our shelter is located in the rural community of Wapato, Washington -- about 18 miles south of supportive community-based services located in the city of Yakima.

Noah's Ark offers year-round non-judgmental assistance to homeless, many addicted to drugs and alcohol, and impoverished people who otherwise would have nowhere else to turn because they lack transportation to reach Yakima.
