St. Vincent de Paul is committed to delivering the highest quality services to everyone who comes to our Crisis Nite Center. We maintain our facility at the highest standard and continually evaluate and improve our charity.
The "Summer Refresh" is a program that enables us to complete maintenance and updating, provide deep cleaning of the Crisis Nite Center, provide training and orientation for employees and volunteers, evaluate staffing needs, move people who have been "stuck" into housing, and improve our programs and services.
CRISIS NITE SERVICES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE DURING THE "SUMMER REFRESH" WHICH BEGINS ON MAY 16TH.
Our Outreach Ministries building and services will remain open throughout summer 2024 and we will continue to deliver the highest quality services. This includes finding placement and/or permanent housing to continue fulfilling our ultimate goal of moving people “from homeless to housing.”
Crisis Nite Numbers for First 4 years (48 Months) of Service to the Homeless from December 2019 to May 2024.
Lodging
Average homeless staying in the Crisis Nite Center each night: 65 people
65 people x 1460 nights = 94,900 individual night stays
94,900 individual night stays at $70 average motel rate = $6,643,000
$6,643,000 value of lodging provided at the Center for the first 48 months (4 years). (approximate)
Meals
3 meals per day x 1460 days = 4,380 meals in 48 months
4,380 meals in 48 months for 65 people average = 284,700 meals served
284,700 free meals served in the first 48 months for people at the Center.
(approximate)
These meals are in addition to the daily meals served to people requiring assistance at the Outreach Center.
The Crisis Nite Center Philosophy
Then the righteous will answer Him, “Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?” The King will reply, “I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:37-45
The Crisis Nite Center is a facility that provides 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.
The Crisis Nite Center is designed to be a respite from the outside elements where people can come to get a comfortable night's sleep. Guests rest in large, zero-gravity chairs that recline into a horizontal position in this climate controlled facility.
