In 2023, our staff and volunteers served an average of 175 guests a day by providing meals, safety & shelter, health & hygiene items, clothing & survival items, showers, laundry services, recuperative care, and case management. We continually strive to meet the ever-changing needs of the homeless population in collaboration with other community agencies. This would not be possible without our generous donors and volunteers. We invite you to join our community of caring and to help touch the lives of homeless individuals in our area.
