Overnight shelter
A safe, warm bed for the night, offered with dignity. In 2025 we provided 5,955 bed nights to 138 individuals with nowhere else to sleep.
What we do
Everything a person needs to steady their feet
A bed, a meal, a shower, clean clothes, and someone in their corner. We cover the basics so our guests can focus on what comes next.
Our services
Care that meets people where they are
From a bed for the night to a caseworker in your corner, here is how we help, day and night.
Day center
A welcoming daytime place to be, out of the cold or heat. Our day center logged 6,014 visits from 220 people last year.
Meals, three times a day
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We served 19,588 meals in 2025, most cooked by local churches, groups, and families.
Showers & laundry
Hot showers and clean clothes make a real difference for health, comfort, and confidence. Last year: 3,158 showers and 1,461 loads of laundry.
Case management
Caseworkers and partner agencies help our guests reach mental health care, recovery support, benefits, and a path toward housing.
Cooling center
When the heat turns dangerous, our doors open as a cooling center so no one has to ride out a heat wave outside.
The food program
Nobody goes hungry here
Three meals a day, every day, take a small army. More than 60 churches and community groups sign up to cook and serve, and partners like the Akron-Canton Regional Foodbank and local growers keep the kitchen stocked.
It adds up to close to 20,000 meals a year, one plate at a time.
- 1,397 breakfasts served in 2025
- 7,426 lunches served
- 10,765 dinners served
- 60+ churches and groups cooking
