Mission Statement
Lord of the Streets (LOTS) is a church community that Welcomes-Restores-Rebuilds those who come us by addressing their spiritual, physical, emotional and social needs.
Description
Lord of the Streets carries out our mission by being a presence Sunday thru Friday providing:
Clothing Assistance, Medical Services, Vision, Haircuts, Direct Assistance and essential services for
daily living.
Because we are a community we offer a place where the homeless can have a sense of belonging, are accepted and loved. LOTS staff and volunteers reach beyond and provide relational interactions through Bible Study, Eucharist, fellowship and social activities. The generosity of individuals helped us to keep our doors open to over 5,200 individuals in 2016. Not only did donors provide financial support, but volunteers gave the gift of their time by serving 10,097 hours to our community. That’s a huge impact in the lives of others.
Due to the economic downturn, mental illness and substance abuse, we are experiencing an exponential jump in homelessness and those on the brink of becoming homeless. With additional resources we work hard along with community partner agencies to return more homeless individuals to self-sufficiency.
