Each week we provide food, clothing, and furniture for those in need. Our Help Center is located directly across the street on Knobview Drive and is open Tuesdays from 9 AM – 12 PM & Wednesdays from 5 PM – 7 PM.

Room in the Inn

Every Tuesday between November 1^st and March 31^st our church family provides twenty-four homeless men a place to spend the night. We provide them dinner, a light breakfast, and a sack lunch as well as showing them God’s love.

We always welcome additional volunteer support. There are a number of ways you can help, including providing food, serving as an innkeeper, kitchen help, laundry service, and many more.
