Emergency Services

We offer emergency services to individuals experiencing homelessness, hunger or crisis. By meeting immediate needs, we restore dignity and reflect the love of Christ to those who need it most.

At the Mission, guests find a safe place to rest and recover. After immediate needs are met, case managers work one-on-one with each guest to identify paths forward to healthy, lasting change.

If you or someone you know needs food, clothing or shelter, we are here to help. We serve three hot meals a day and are open 365 days a year.
