                          Welcome!

                          OUR MISSION:

                          Most homeless people are either temporarily homeless, as the result of a crisis such as loss of a job, or persistently homeless, due to chronic disabilities such as substance abuse
                          and mental illness. The persistently homeless present our society with one of the most vexing, difficult and expensive problems to solve. Their chronic disabilities render many of them unemployable, except for occasional day labor jobs.

                          We are an almost all volunteer, faith based, non-profit, 501c3 agency. We have two paid employees.

                          We are only 1 of 9 Homeless Day Centers in the country.

                          GOALS:

                          • Deliver to the homeless, poor and disadvantaged the virtues of hospitality, friendship, and love, in God’s image. Micah 6:8 "...to do justice, to love mercy..."
                          • Deliver care and compassion today, so as to grow hope for tomorrow in the lives of those needing help.
                          • Help those who are able to get back on their feet.
                          • Provide services with the intent of easing the burdens of homelessness, like employment, housing and transportation.
