Join us for the
Sixth Street Shelter Day Block party!
Celebrating 40 Years of Serving the Community!
On June 6th, 2023, Mayor Matt Tuerk of Allentown made a public proclamation recognizing the important impact the Sixth Street Shelter has on our community, by providing assistance to families experiencing homelessness. June 6th was publicly proclaimed as "Sixth Street Shelter Day," and the plaque we received to make the occasion hangs proudly inside the building. We now celebrate every year on June 6th!
