Serving The Community
The popular notion of a homeless person as a vagrant, someone who chooses to live on the street, is not a current reality. Many homeless are identified as the "new poor." These individuals who have suffered crisis in their lives and almost overnight found themselves in the street, helpless and unable to regain their place in society.
Our range of sevices include showers, restrooms, laundry, counseling, medical treatment, food clothing, legal advice, veteran's counselor, post office, phone and many more.

Testimonial
Dear Resurrection House Staff,
Eating out of dumpsters was no fun. Not being able to shower, to be clean enought to job search was distressful. I needed help.
I was in jail. After several months, even though charges were dropped, I had no place to go, my apartment was gone, and I had $7.99 in my Bank of America Account.
Your services provided me with showers, food, and a pair of socks, all of which I valuded very highly. I needed spiritual help from my father and my brother and you have New Testament in your library, which I utilized.
I haved learned not to take the neccessities of life for granted. Now being blessed with a job on a boat, I take pleasure in being able to give, as I had needed help before. Even if it costs millions of dollars to help one person, I think it is worth it. Thank you so much for helping me. Please contintue your good work.
No Longer Homeless.
