Our programs include daily drop-ins, where guests are welcome for healthy meals, a cup of coffee, and social interaction.

We provide programs for guests to enhance their lives and resources to assist them in accessing the services they need.

Our work is grounded in relationships, and our drop-ins are places where people are known by name and are loved. While we provide for basic needs, we also strive to offer programs that are transformational and change lives for the better.
