Food is not good, serves over cooked food and needs to be cleaned up. Building falling apart.

One of the most unsanitary places I've ever seen. I am here now but leaving soon and I best believe I will never return.......

This is the absolute worst place to have to stay. The accommodations are a cross between a barracks and summer camp. The residents are herded into bunk beds and packed In like sardines. The stench is awful and the clientele worse. The staff is grumpy, unfriendly, and can't be bothered to talk much less help. Their mission is themselves while rescuing no one. If you are referred here, refuse. It is no better than a dog pen or the city dump.

Are they accepting people into the mission

Robert Redman | Oct 23, 2020
Lisa St Clair | Oct 23, 2020

Yes should be

This place is a scam. They steal your social security check and almost all the money you make. They should be sued into oblivion but nobody is on our side or cares. They are the most hateful evil people and not trying to help anyone. All a fraud.

Bro chill I was there. I thought the same at first. But if you don't want to be homeless anymore than Save the money and get you a spot. They cut you a check in few days when you leave and keep track of your deposits with receipts. And the bank that they use does not take anything out of the check what it says is what you get. And they take rescue mission IDs if you don't have a state one. Obviously you are an ungrateful person. Being homeless forces you to be humble at some point and time your not there yet if your complaining about someone helping you out in life in a world where nobody really cares. Smh God bless you man.

Is the mailing address to receive mail from family and friends the 402 4th St. SE, Roanoke VA 24013 or is it something different? Entering the program 01/20/19 I'm wanting to let them know, PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Joshua Kreul | Oct 24, 2019
Joshua Lewie | Oct 24, 2019

Yes, that is the address you will use for mail.

Can family visit one who is living there for rehab?

Louise Adams | Oct 24, 2019
Sherry Owens | Oct 24, 2019

Yes. Call front desk to ask when. Sometimes on the weekends.

So really though, why do they want someone's ss number? Do they plan on commiting some kind of misuse? Why do they have to know someone's life story just to get a box of food? Is it true that they only want money? Why does religion matter?

carmon murphey | Oct 24, 2019
Sherry Owens | Oct 24, 2019

Background check for SSN. Life story is to see what issues you have they can helpwith that put you in your situation. Box of food should only require you to prove your income. They like the interest they get when you put your money in their bank but you get your own money back. All shelters think God is going to save us if we just believe.

If you have a little money upon entering what happens to that

Omar Hairston | Oct 24, 2018
Sherry Owens | Oct 24, 2018

You hide it or put it in a safer place. What money you make at a job, you have to give 75% to the mission to put in a savings account for you and you get it back when you leave.

How are they allowed to put a mother on modified and tell her kids have to go stay somewhere else.this is not a christian based nothing its a joke

Patricia Capps | Oct 24, 2018
carmon murphey | Oct 24, 2019

Yes, it's a joke. If you don't wanna sit thru a "sermon" they turn you away. You can't stay there during the day, they've been known to steal from people.. Money, items, etc. They're think they're better than everyone else. The lady at the front desk is mean and hateful. She wrote my ss number on a piece of paper. If something happens with that, I'll know where to send the authorities.

They do lunch from 11:30 til 1p and dinner from 4:30 til 6p. You just have to go into the office and get a badge for everyone (it doesnt take long at all) that they will scan when you go thru the cafeteria line . The food is usually pretty good too.

Why do they turn people away if they don't sit through worship? I thought they couldn't discriminate based on religion. Are they in this for the money? I heard from many people that the staff was rude and hateful and nasty. Do they really steal?

lynn liller | Oct 24, 2018
lynn liller | Oct 23, 2020

First thing to remember....slow down, keep it tight and iwould ask to speak with someone on the staff that is there to do exactly what your asking! Ask counselors there, the nurse at "pill call" ask bunky,everyone in jail ain't all hard and Always hard core and balls to the wall knock your head off if you breath wrong, ask for written things ppl bring there for ppl like you,ask where the location is,phone numbers, person running mission,answers to all these not hard to find out...if you strt asking ppl will answer....then you call and jus ask about the program, the expectations, etc. Jus familiarize yourself w as many ppl there as you can,they will visit you, bring you toiletries, talk w you, pray with you.. help with clothing for you ,by release date they will come and help..And guide you to where and what your needs are at the time They would never turn on you and leave you, very scarey,but you strt asking ppl questions you be fine release date. StaySafe, Godbles As Ever lynnie
