i helped serve to the needy people here before it was so fun an joyful serving them food an being able to give God is our source everyone here keep your head up things will get better Pray meditate n fill out for applications make sure to try to catch buses rides trains or anything u need to try to help yourself n remember even when u cant help yourself continue to try to help n encourage others to do n be better…God is happy with us who dont lose hope an love him an know theres always a better outcome out of anything in life an anytime u feel like u cant get through something read the bible an put yourself where Jesus was …he didnt give up he kept going an always kept loving an caring for others …God an Jesus want us to be an example of him we must represent him to the fullest of our knowledge an ask for more knowledge an wisdom daily

I mostly volunteer there, and i am not fully aware of all of their programs, but they for sure have transitional living programs that will give the skills to het back in the workforce, and they are adjusting to more of an approach of keeping families together, but if you are alone, they have individual help too

Beds are not guaranteed there is no assigned beds first come first serve but there are plenty of beds they have mats on the first floor bunk beds on the second floor currently there's like 166 people here just for the men's side you cannot stay in your bed all day but at certain times people over at the age of 62 can go up after lunch time to take a nap otherwise you don't have to leave the property you don't have to have a job but they would like you to find one if you need one there are plenty of resources here to help you get housing especially if you have the assistance that you have already
