Mission Statement

St. Luke’s is an inclusive, multicultural community pursuing spiritual and social transformation. We seeks to reach out to everyone in our community, including those who struggle for basic necessities.

Description

St. Luke’s seeks to reach out to everyone in our community, including those who struggle for basic necessities. Four Saturdays a month we offer a hot shower, clean clothing, amenities, and a meal to our homeless friends. We serve from 75-100 at the Showers, plus some who come for clothing only. Our facilities include one full-service shower for women, as well as three full-service showers and two lavatories for men. Recently the church has been opened to our guests for silent prayer, or to have a volunteer pray with them at their request. We believe in practicing the words of St. Francis of Assisi: "Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words." Donations of clean, appropriate clothing and shoes, especially socks and underwear are needed and welcome.
