A 24 Hour Emergency Youth Shelter in Port Huron, Michigan
The Harbor teen shelter has a new kitchen thanks to a $20,000 grant from the Community Foundation of St. Clair County.
Hale Walker, a member of the foundation’s grant committee, said the passion of The Harbor’s program director Sally Currie put its application over the top.
“I believe we can prevent kids from becoming involved in the system,” Currie said. “I don’t want to see kids go through the system.”
The Harbor provides housing, counseling and other services for young people ages nine through 17. The kids may be homeless, on the verge of homelessness, have a bad falling out with a parent or some other issue. The Harbor has room for 10 residents at its 929 Pine St. location, with stays limited to three weeks. About 100 kids per year have gone through The Harbor since it opened in the spring of 1978.
Our Annual Harbor BBQ was amazing! The city closed our section of Pine Street. PH police brought their activity trailer. SCC Community groups came out to share information about their organizations with citizens. Food donations came through and staff came together. Face painting, bounce house, kids

Every year The Harbor/Wings/Cypress Place staff, families and friends participate in the Rotary "Blue Water Festival" Parade. This year the theme of the parade was "Space". We think The Harbor/Wings/Cypress Place did an awesome job in exemplifying the spirit of "Space".
The Harbor is proud to announce the launch of our new website with more than 700 hand made bookmarks. The extraordinary laminated bookmarks feature beautiful artwork created by the youth at The Harbor, Wings and Cypress Place and each is finished with a thin ribbon that compliments the artwork.
