Rev. Emily Sutton, Executive Director of Bethel Shelters, has announced her resignation effective May 11th, 2025, following 12 years of dedicated service and transformative leadership. Under her guidance, Bethel Shelters has evolved from a seasonal warming center to become the tri-county area’s only year-round emergency shelter for men, while significantly expanding its programs and community impact. Rev. Sutton will continue her calling as a United Methodist pastor while remaining an advocate for those experiencing homelessness in the community. Alicia Cohen has been named the new Executive Director of Bethel Shelters. In a press release on Friday the Board of Directors said they deeply appreciate Ms. Cohen’s dedication and the invaluable contributions she has made to Bethel Shelters over the years. Her leadership has played a crucial role in ensuring the continued success of Bethel Shelters and the well-being of those they serve.
