Volunteers

A large team of nearly 300 incredibly dedicated volunteers are the hands and feet living into our mission and vision. Volunteers provide much-needed personal interaction which is often missing in the lives of persons without a home, those struggling with mental health and addictions, and those living on the edge of society. We offer opportunities for all people to serve and to come together in community and learn from each other.

Supporters

We are supported by a wide range of churches, businesses and individual who come alongside us, providing financial support, donating personal hygiene items, sharing gently used men’s clothing, offering additional support for members of our community, and praying for us.

Diners, Shoppers, Patients, etc

Annually, hundreds of people come through our doors seeking and trusting that they will find a safe place for respite, a nutritious hot meal, clean-dry clothing, medical care, spiritual care, and connections with community resources

Together, we all come together to create a caring, safe environment in which to build a community of belonging in the Short North area of downtown Columbus to serve God and to promote physical, emotional and spiritual wellness.
