Overview

Mission

The f-m dorothy day house of hospitality and food pantry is a loving christian community that shelters, nourishes, and empowers people who are homeless and hungry.

What it reported doing in 2018

The emergency shelter has the capacity to house 13 men who are homeless. We provide basic needs, visitor support services, case management, resource connection, and ongoing support when people moveinto housing. Housing and self-sufficiency are the ultimate goals; however, we value the incremental outcomes along the way that lead to stabilization and improved quality of life. Specifically, we helpconnect people to the following resources: identification, transportation, healthcare (i.e. Physical and mental health), employment/income, housing, legal/financial, and social support. We serve 13 men at a time and up to 16 men during the coldest months.
