We Don’t Just Provide Shelter. We are Helping to End Homelessness.

Refuge

Opening up God’s house for a nutritious meal, loving fellowship, and a safe place to sleep.

Relationship

Listening to and learning from one another. Exercising respect. Developing mutual trust.

Restoration

Affirming each individual’s value by connecting with organizations to work toward life off the streets.

Matthew 25: 34-40

 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,  I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
