The Journey Home's Outreach Center provides shower and laundry facilities for the homeless and needy in our community, along with toiletries and supplies free of charge. Clients can wash up to two loads of clothes weekly, shower daily, and shop in our clothes closet Monday-Friday. While all clothing given is tracked, their is no charge to the client for any of these services. Additionally, clients are supplied with feminine hygiene products, diapers, and other necessities as needed through this program. These items are difficult to afford with limited funds and cannot be purchased with food stamps. A hot shower, proper hygiene, and clean clothes go a long way to establishing self-worth and the appropriate appearance that helps a client gain acceptance and employment in the community.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| The most pressing challenge facing The Journey Home is to continue to fund and provide resources to manage services for a growing population of the under-served homeless in our community. Affordable housing is very limited due to our rapid growth, and the college student population. In order to meet the needs of the whole person we are constantly looking for ways to fund additional counseling and housing services. Serving more than 150 people daily at our outreach center, we are pressed to be able to give the personal attention that each situation requires, and are working to add additional counseling/case management to allow The Journey Home to provide long-term services. |
