Jefferson City city council

Unhoused guests' bags sit labeled on shelves behind the shelter's intake table on Dec. 19, 2024, at Room at the Inn in Columbia. Operations Manager Jacqie Melloway said Room at the Inn opens its doors at 6:30 p.m., at which time guests may enter to check in for the night. "We'll take all of your bags from you. We put your name on it, put it on the shelf behind us. And the shelves are somewhat alphabetical order, but we put last names on there," Melloway said. "You have to empty your pockets out. We will take any contraband from you: knives, lighters. And then if you have a coat on, with it being winter, you have to take your coat off so we can pat it down, just because a lot of folks have holes in their pockets and things fall through into the lining of their coat."
