Description
We have been in operation now for 25 years and our goals remain unchanged. We provide a safe, public place for everyone, especially women and children; To offer nourishing meals at little or no cost or in exchange for labor; To offer job training and employment experience to local residents - individuals experiencing homelessness and extreme poverty in our community. We also sell meal coupons to be handed out in the community as a positive response to pan-handling.
