I Need a Place to Stay or a Meal

If you are a man and need a place to sleep tonight, you can walk in at 3:00 PM. Space is limited, so arrive early if you can.

If you’re a mom, caregiver, or family needing support, we can help with essentials and connect you to other services and housing support.

We give away free food, clothing, and basic supplies every week.

You don’t have to stay stuck. We offer job training, work programs, and GED prep.

If you're a man struggling with addiction, grief, or starting over—we’re here to walk with you.

We won’t turn you away if you don’t have paperwork. We’ll help you get what you need.

You’ve made it this far. Don’t give up now.

Whether you need a hot meal, a safe place to sleep, or someone to talk to—there’s a place for you here.
