PROGRAMS
Bridging Those in Crisis
The Haven
The Haven at The Family Center is our daily program to support the local unhoused community by assisting them with some of their basic needs. At The Haven, homeless can access a hot shower, two hot meals daily, are able to do their laundry, and are able to receive fresh clothes from our clothing closet. We serve a group of 20-30 homeless individuals who are in need of these services. While in attendance, homeless are also able to connect with resources through job fairs, community outreach opportunities, and church interventions.
To Volunteer at The Haven and provide meals, or general volunteering be sure to check out our service page for a step by step guide on how to get involved in our community.
