Night Drop-In Center
The Night Drop-In Center is a new facility that is open from 7:00 pm – 7:00 am daily as a “safe haven” for all who come to spend the night. It is a “bridge” to existing services already provided by the Outreach Ministry where people access resources to assist in moving out of homelessness to housing.

Dusk-to-Dawn Night Drop-In Center
The large Cross is the focal point of the building from the street view and offers comfort and rest for all who enter.
Inside the Drop-In Center
The Drop-In Center is designed to be a respite from the outside elements where people can come to get a comfortable night's sleep. Large, zero-gravity chairs recline into a horizontal position. Guests "drop-in" to rest in this climate controlled facility.
Drop-In Center Features
The Drop-In Center is very well lighted, inside and out. Security is a high priority consisting of a camera system, a metal detector and an off-duty police officer in the building all night. There is a separate, enclosed "child room" for mothers with babies.
The Night Drop-In Center is located to the rear of the Soup Kitchen and Outreach Ministry Center where programs and services are offered daily.
