What We Offer You
Food
Every morning, afternoon, and evening, we serve a hot, nourishing meal, free of charge. Last year, our kitchen served 90,980 meals to men in need. For many, it's the only meal they'll have that day.
Safe Shelter
Our shelter is a place where you can feel secure. We maintain a strict zero tolerance policy for violence, drugs, alcohol, and weapons, so every man who walks through our doors can feel safe. You deserve a place where no one can hurt you.
Restful Sleep
Our shelter beds are available 365 nights per year. During extreme heat or cold, we open additional space in our Chapel so no one is left outside. Last year, we provided 46,135 nights of shelter. A good night's sleep can change everything.
Clothing & Hygiene
A clean set of clothes can restore your confidence and open doors, including the door to a job. Our clothing closet is stocked with shirts, pants, shoes, socks, underwear, winter coats, and more, all at no cost. Every day, guests also have access to hot showers with soap and shampoo, plus personal hygiene items to take with them.
