HELP US HELP OUR UNHOUSED NEIGHBORS
All are welcome without preconditions
SERVICES OFFERED: Last Saturday of the month, 7:00 – 10:00 AM
OUR PURPOSE
Homeless ness is increasing. We can’t fix it, but we can sustain individuals with caring support and a path to a sustainable future.
OUR STORY
When Fresh Start began more than 10 years ago, a few volunteers were serving breakfast to fewer than 40 people. Over the years, we have served more than 1200 individuals. Today, more than 60 volunteers are serving more than 250 people every month.
CARING
On the last Saturday of every month, we are now hosting more than 250 of our unhoused neighbors, providing a hot breakfast, clothing and personal items, a hot shower, bus and trolley passes, and lunches to go.
CONNECTION
We offer resources that can help connect our neighbors to opportunities for housing, employment, medical care, and other services, and we continue to add additional service providers every month.
COMMUNITY
All of us—our neighbors and our volunteers—enjoy getting to know each other and forming relationships that enrich and deepen our mutual respect and understanding. We engage in conversations that let our guests know we see them as individuals—as one of us. We offer simple hospitality and grace with no strings attached.
