Day shelter on Christianshavn offering a safe and welcoming place to stay. Here, guests can take part in a community, enjoy a meal, get help with both practical and personal matters, and take a short break from life on the street.
The day shelter Fedtekælderen serves as a refuge for the many vulnerable people who visit each day. It offers conversation and companionship, and—most importantly—food, showers, clothing, and rest for those in difficult life situations. The shelter also acts as a bridge to other social services, public authorities, the healthcare system, and many more support networks.
The shelter opens at 8:00 AM, when free breakfast is served. Guests can sign up for a shower or a spot in the rest room. If more people request showers or rest than there are spaces available, allocation is decided by lottery.
Caseworkers from Det Grønlandske Hus are available every Thursday from 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM.
